THE QUEEN'S ROYAL HUSSARS (THE QUEEN'S OWN AND ROYAL IRISH) REGIMENTAL CHARITY

Income is applied at the discretion of the trustees: In relieving individuals who are serving or former members of the regiment or former regiments and dependents who are in conditions of need., hardship or distress, by making grants to money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities calculated to reduce need, hardship or distress.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
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
