THE CHARLES CAUSLEY TRUST

This Charity was dormant up until 31st July 2014. From that date it began to take over the activities of The Charles Causley Trust (charity number 1102459). Its objects are the advancement of education in literature and poetry, particularly in relation to the works of Charles Causley, and the maintenance of Cyprus Well. Grants are made to potential writers and poets from Cornwall and Devon.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
