THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE WATER CHARITABLE TRUST 

The objective of the Trust is to apply its income towards relieving those customers who are in conditions of need, poverty, hardship or other distress and are having difficulty making payment for the supply of water to their home but make regular payments for an amount they can afford.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely 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
