SIR ROBERT LEE'S CHARITY 

The charity makes grants (currently food vouchers) to needy and deserving individuals who reside in the Low Town area of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, such individuals being selected by agreement between the trustees in December each year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
