BICTON OVERSEAS AGRICULTURAL TRUST

Provides advice, training and other assistance to farmers and their immediate trainers and advisers in developing countries, also runs courses on college administration in Devon and overseas for foreign nationals of developing countries.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
