FRIENDS OF THE UNION CHAIN BRIDGE

TO PROMOTE THE HISTORIC AND ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE OF THE UNION CHAIN BRIDGE IN THE PARISHES OF HORNCLIFFE (NORTHUMBERLAND) ENGLAND, AND HUTTON (BERWICKSHIRE), SCOTLAND

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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