THE HYPATIA TRUST

The Hypatia Trust exists to progress equality and education for the public benefit by celebrating the lives and works of women, past and present; both nationally and internationally and in particular those with a connection to Cornwall, by forming collaborative partnerships and creating supportive spaces.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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 is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
