THE CHRISTOPHER AND SARAH ALDAM BOWLY'S ALMSHOUSE CHARITY

The provision of almshouse accomodation for poor persons who are inhabitants of the Parish of Cirencester and the adjoining parishes with a preference to persons who are members of the Society of Friends.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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
