LONDON CATALYST

To act as a catalyst through a programme of grant making, to include:- (1) providing grants to agencies best placed to distribute one-off grants to people in need; and (2) projects tackling unmet health needs and the affects of poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
