CHARITY OF DOROTHY PARKES KNOWN AS SMETHWICK CHAPELRY 

To assist financially in the support of Smethwick Old Church and Vicarage.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
