THE CESTRIAN LODGE CHARITY FUND

THE CHARITY MAKES DONATIONS TO MASONIC AND NON MASONIC ORGANISATIONS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
