METCALF'S GENERAL CHARITY 

The Charity pays eleemosynary pensions to deserving elderly people in Stonham Aspal and divides the remaining income of the Charity equally between the Parish Church and other (civil) parish purposes. The income from a small endowment investment, The Rector's Land Fund, is made available to the incumbent of Stonham Aspal.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
