THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF BUILDERS' MERCHANTS CHARITABLE FUND

The Charity makes charitable grants to support worthy causes in the builders merchants industry and the City of London, and to other charities with which the Company has a connection, particularly those craft-related.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
There are only 4 trustees
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
