Provide grants to distressed brother masons their distressed widows dependents individuals and organisations within the county of Wiltshire and Unitary Authority of Swindon for the general relief of medical mental and physical distress among the elderly disabled surgical cases and those subject to violence.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
