THE STOWMARKET RELIEF TRUST 

Relieving poverty for the needy residents of Stowmarket and its adjoining parishes of Stowupland, Old Newton and Dagworth, Haughley, Onehouse, Great Finborough, Combs, Badley and Creeting St Peter.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
