LAURA KINSELLA FOUNDATION

The Trustees shall hold the Trust Fund and its income upon trust to apply them for all objects which are regarded as exclusively charitable under the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees from time to time think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
