LONDON EMERGENCIES TRUST

London Emergencies Trust (LET) works to relieve sickness or disability, whether physical or mental, of victims of emergency incidents and their dependants. It also relieves financial need among the victims of emergency incidents, including their families and dependants. And it supports other appropriate charitable purposes as decided by its Trustees.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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

Established: 7 years
