ALMSHOUSE CHARITY OF SIR WILLIAM POWELL 

Housing persons in need over 55 years of age resident within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham or elsewhere in special cases approved by the trustees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
