THE BICESTER FEOFFEE CHARITY 

The Charity's purpose is "to relieve ... persons resident in the area of benefit who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress ... by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities." The area of benefit is the area of the Bicester Town Council, but exceptionally the Trustees may grant relief to persons resident immediately outside the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
