THE RELIEF OF PERSONS WHO ARE IN CONDITIONS OF NEED, HARDSHIP OR DISTRESS AND WHO ARE MEMBERS OR FORMER MEMBERS OF THE INSTITUTION OF HEATING AND VENTILATING ENGINEERS OR OF THE ILLUMINATING ENGINEERING SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN OR THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF BUILDING SERVICE ENGINEERS AND THE IMMEDIATE DEPENDANTS OF SUCH PERSONS
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
