To apply the capital and interest for the purposes of charitable organisations or charities or individuals as detailed within the Governing Document or for such other charitable purposes as the Trustees 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
