IVY MARY MACFIE DECEASED CHARITABLE FUND 

To make grants to charitable institutions.The terms of the late Mrs Macfie's charitable bequest gives the Trustees discretionary power to appoint the beneficiaries of the charity.So far as possible, beneficiaries are to be selected from registered charities based or operating in Cambridgeshire, and in particular those working in the Ely postcode CB6 and CB7 areas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
