SWINDON HARDSHIP FUND 

We make small cash grants to people living in Swindon, when needed within a few days, through trusted organisations- local partner organisations, that are engaged in supporting people struggling to meet the basic needs of living.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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
