THE ROTARY CLUB OF MAIDSTONE CHARITY TRUST FUND

Our charity supplements and supports the main activities of our parent rotary club and in particular our community service committee. We seek to make donations both to worthy local charities and to worldwide rotary international projects. In addition we also provide funds to assist in international disaster relief either directly or through the overall rotary family as a matter of priority.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
