HENRY SMITH'S CHARITY (ANCIENT PARISH OF DOVERCOURT) 

WE DO NOT NORMALLY GIVE FINANCIAL GRANTS. WE PROVIDE GOODS: SUCH AS DOMESTIC ITEMS, CLOTHING, BEDDING, FOOD, PAY TOWARDS FUEL COSTS IF REQUESTED.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
