UNITED CHARITIES OF CAMBRIDGE

1) Provision of almshouses for persons in conditions of need, hardship or distress living within the City of Cambridge and its surrounding area. 2) Relief in Need funds given annually to qualified charities and institutions for the relief of poverty and the education of the young in and around the City of Cambridge.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
