HILLSTOWN MINERS' WELFARE TRUST 

Provision of recreational facilities for the benefit of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
