IMPERIAL BENEVOLENT FUND

The object of the CIO is the relief of poverty of members of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), former members and their dependents who are in necessitous circumstances by reason of their sickness, infirmity or old age.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
