THE 1959 GROUP OF CHARITIES

Promoting the efficiency of member charities by facilitating the exchange of information about matters of common interest and encouraging voluntary work for member charities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
