THE FRIENDS OF THE MERCIAN REGIMENT

To support members of the former Staffordshire Regiment and members of the present day Mercian Regiment. This support will mainly be in the area of sports and recreation for soldiers and help to families' activities when the soldiers are away from home on operations or training.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
The Board is completely male

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
This charity appears to be dormant
