MILTON ABBAS STREET FAIR TRUST

The Trust issues financial awards to village organisations and charities via any surplus generated by the biennial Milton Abbas Street Fair.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
