SMITH'S CIRENCESTER POOR CHARITY 

The trustees hold four regular quarterly meetings each year when the trustees consider applications referred to them from various local sources including local medical practices, the local hospital, Social Services, The Citizen Advice Bureau and other local charitable and voluntary organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
