THE EARLEY CHARITY 

Grants given to individuals and organisations for the purpose of the relief of the needy, sick and elderly residents of the area of benefit, which covers the Ancient Liberty of Earley and the neighbourhood thereof.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
