TREWAN SANDS CHILDREN'S TRUST

a) To relieve the sickness of disabled and terminally ill children in the UK (who may be accompanied by their parents, guardians or carers) and who would not otherwise have a holiday. b) To provide holidays for other members of the community who would not otherwise have a holiday and to supply sports equipment, adapted and disability aids.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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