THE DAVID LEWIS ASSOCIATION

Makes grants to organisations, on behalf of individuals, to provide life-changing adventure opportunities or experiences to disadvantaged young people under 25 years of age.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
