THE NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND

Supporting journalists and their dependants by the provision of retirement housing facilities. Also by making grants in approved cases to individuals who meet the occupational requirement.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,476,000 available, equivalent to 139 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
