the provision of relief for the benefit of distressed Brother Masons their widows and children or to or for the benefit of such masonic charities or other charitable institutions societies and objects as the Lodge shall in duly constituted meeting from time to time direct.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
