KINGSTRUST NETWORK

Kingstrust Network exists for the relief of poverty in the United Kingdom. The charity operates community hubs along the impoverished east coast seaside towns of northern England. It provides furniture, white goods, food and other material assistance as may be required through its hubs and through other front-line partner charities to those in need in our geographical areas of operation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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