THE BENJAMIN PAUL FOUNDATION 

Our aim is to help and support vulnerable people in our community. Particularly those who are victims of substance and/or alcohol misuse, the homeless or those facing homelessness. We aim to help with practical needs and signpost where necessary to other agencies, helping to promote independent living.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
