THE TAUNTON AID IN SICKNESS FUND 

PROVIDING RELIEF FOR THE SICK POOR RESIDING WITHIN A RADIUS OF 5 MILES OF ST.MARY'S CHURCH TAUNTON
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently
