THE ROYAL LIVERPOOL SEAMEN'S ORPHAN INSTITUTION

The object for which the Institution is established and incorporated continues to be to support the sons and daughters of deceased seafarers and fishermen, by providing help with general living expenses, education costs and maintenance by way of monthly grants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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