LEE ABBEY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS' CLUB 

Running a students' hostel for students of all nationalities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but spending has been increasing rapidly
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
