SURREY PROVINCIAL CHARITY FUND

The Trustees shall hold the Trust Fund and the income thereof upon trust for the relief of poor and distressed brother masons or their poor and distressed widows and children, or the benefit of masonic charities or other charitable societies and objects absolutely.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • 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:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
