THE ROWLANDS TRUST

General grant-making activities.

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
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
