GUILD OF FREEMEN OF THE CITY OF LONDON'S CHARITY 

The charity raises and applies funds to give aid to distressed past and present members of the Guild of Freemen of the City of London, their dependants and relatives. It also supports the educational needs of the disadvantaged at schools linked to the city of London, and it provides grants to benefit young people, the infirm, the aged and the needy, primarily in the Greater London Area
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

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
