SIR GEORGE FRANKLIN'S PENSION CHARITY 

Income applied "for the provision of pensions to men and women of good character in straitened circumstances of age 50 years and upwards and resident in the city of Sheffield".
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
