    GEORGE PEABODY DONATION FUND 

    Peabody's mission is to make London a city of opportunity for all by ensuring as many people as possible have a good home, a real sense of purpose and a strong feeling of belonging. It achieves this through the provision of affordable housing (as a Registered Provider) and community regeneration and personal development activities.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • Spending is declining
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 63 years
