    EAST CHESHIRE NHS TRUST CHARITABLE FUND

    Any charitable purpose relating to the National Health Service wholly or mainly for the services provided by East Cheshire NHS Trust.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
    • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

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