CHARITY OF WILLIAM CHOWLES 

Makes grants to elderly people of Lambourn Berkshire with housing related costs from the income from a bequest. Since the income is small, the trustees make a grant every few years. The trustees aim to merge this charity with the Theo Harris Trust in Lambourn .The process has been slowed down by Covid19 and a new vicar. After problems with changing bank mandates we are close to completing this
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

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 but spending has been maintained
