THE PLUMBERS CHARITY 

Changing lives for the better by supporting plumbing education & training, promoting the 'craft of plumbing' (including provision of clean water, sanitation, public health and community welfare), and making grants to charities connected with the City of London.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
