THE STEPHEN THOMPSON FOUNDATION 

To fund in the form of a donation to a pre-existing junior football club in deprived areas that are struggling to survive and would benefit from a charitable donation as well as organisations with individuals who are appropriately qualified and are actively researching Giant Cell Myocarditis
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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