CHESHIRE MASONIC COVENANTS LIMITED

The principal activity of the Charity is the collection, administration and distribution of the covenanted / gift aided charitable donations made by Freemasons of the Province of Chehsire

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
