THE DOUGLAS PRESTWICH CHARITABLE TRUST 

Trustees' policy is to aid improvement of welfare to the elderly & in particular to support hospices for the elderly & their day centres, including assisting with capital projects from the Trust's capital. Trustees' interest is in smaller hospices where information about their work is already known to them or easily accessible & where grants are likely to make a significant difference to the work.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
