NORTHUMBRIA POLICE CHARITIES FUND

The Fund aims to provide assistance for vulnerable,disabled, disadvantaged or deprived groups of people or individuals within the Northumbria Police area as well as supporting community groups.
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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