THE JAMES AND SYLVIA BENEY TRUST 

Small Grant Making Trust. The trust can only make grants to Christian organisations, projects, clergy or workers and their families. However worthy other causes, grants can not be made to these.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
