THANA TRUST

The Charity was created to support primary health care and community health programmes in the Thane district of Mumbai, and elsewhere in India. The medical and community and faith based programmes are conducted through a registered Indian charity operating as the Bethany Trust.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
