THE LEAGUE OF REMEMBRANCE 

Provides companionship, welfare and modest financial assistance to widows and dependents of all who served in the Armed Forces, to retired armed forces personnel and to retired members of the nursing profession who help in a variety of ways in hospitals, hospices and other volunteer-based organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 61 years
(103 years as a company)
