EMMA DORIS BUSSEY 

This year the trustees have been able to grant all legitimate requests for grants to help people in the old borough of Bilston which despite being part of Wolverhampton is an active and thriving town in its own right.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
