THE BEARR TRUST 

The BEARR Trust is a UK-based organisation set up to help children and other vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We believe the best way to do this is to help small civil society organisations (CSOs) working in health and social welfare in the region to build knowledge, know-how, skills and contacts, including with those doing similar work in the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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