WILLIAM POWELL'S CHARITY 

The Charity owns and maintains two, one-bedroom semi-detached almshouses for the benefit of persons in need, hardship or distress, who are resident in the City and District of St Albans.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
