LORD KITCHENER MEMORIAL HOLIDAY CENTRE 

Sea side holidays for veterans and serving personnel of HM Armed Forces, Merchant and Emergency Services and their immediate family
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
