POOR'S PLATT 

THE CHARITY MAKES GRANTS TO ASSIST PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED, HARDSHIP AND DISTRESS AND WHO LIVE IN THE ANCIENT PARISH OF BARWELL. GRANTS ARE MADE TO BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
