7TH ARMOURED DIVISION COMMEMORATIVE FUND

Our aim is support families and veterans of the 7th Armoured Division, plus 4th and 7th Armoured Brigades (and their descendants) and to ensure our history is not a thing of the past and to educate future generations on the legacy of the British 7th Armoured Division, who fought in the North African Campaign and later Italy and North West Europe during the 1940s conflict and conflicts ever since.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
