Upkeep and maintenance of almshouses and the benefit of the residents
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
