CHARLES PLATER TRUST

The Trust awards grants to organisations for educational projects in line with Catholic social thought and teaching
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be 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
