THE JAMES BENSTEAD CHARITY 

DISTRIBUTING A SMALL SUM USUALLY BETWEEN 200 AND 500 POUNDS PER ANNUM TO THE POOR AND NEEDY IN GREAT WILBRAHAM.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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