THE ROYAL LIVERPOOL SEAMEN'S ORPHAN INSTITUTION 

The object for which the Institution is established and incorporated continues to be to support the sons and daughters of deceased seafarers and fishermen, by providing help with general living expenses, education costs and maintenance by way of monthly grants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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: 60 years
