IMPERIAL SOCIETY OF KNIGHTS BACHELOR 

TO UPHOLD THE STATUS, DIGNITY AND STANDING OF KNIGHTS BACHELOR AND TO SUPPORT OTHER CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF POVERTY, THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, THE MAINTENANCE, SUPPORT AND IMPROVEMENT OF HOSPITALS AND OF THOSE AFFLICTED BY ILLNESS OR DISEASE; THE MAINTENANCE OF OUR CHAPEL, AND ANY OTHER OBJECTIVE WHICH IS EXCLUSIVELY CHARITABLE
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
