BLUEPRINT TRUST

The advancement for the benefit of the public of civic responsibility and good citizenship by promoting responsible standards in business through the application of the Blueprint Principles and Framework
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
