We are a British-Polish organisation and registered charity (Charity Number 1167606) established to promote and research the role of the Polish 307 Squadron, known as the '' Lwow Eagle Owls"
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants and contracts

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
