THE LORD MAYOR OF BRISTOL'S CHRISTMAS APPEAL FOR CHILDREN

Raising sufficient funds to issue food, clothes and toys vouchers just prior to Christmas to circa 1600 known underpriviliged children living within the Bristol city boundary.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
