THE JOSEPH RANK BENEVOLENT FUND 

The Joseph Rank Benevolent Fund was set up in 1934 to help the poor elderly in Hull. Beneficiaries are retired and receive pension credit. At the Trustees discretion, donations are also made to Hull based charities in December.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
