THE OLDHAM FOUNDATION 

The objects of the Charity are wide and the Trustees may pay, or apply, both capital and income for such charitable purposes as they, in their absolute discretion, think fit. The Trust does however give particular consideration to the support of former employees of Oldham International Limited, its subsidiary companies and staff of the Oldham family.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
