THE RICHARD WHITTINGTON LODGE BENEVOLENT FUND 

The Trustees meet as required to consider and grant or deny requests for donations forwarded by members of the Lodge or direct by individuals or groups
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

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
