ROYAL AIR FORCES ASSOCIATION - LOWESTOFT & DISTRICT BRANCH 

The RAFA Lowestoft and District helps and supports retired RAF personnel, financially and materially and its activities are as prescribed by The RAFA and The RAF Benevolent Fund
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently
