THE CRAVEN TRUST

Supporting residents, local charities and voluntary and community organisations through the provision of small grants for the relief of sickness, poverty, the advancement of education and improved quality of life.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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