LORD MAYOR OF MANCHESTER'S CHARITY APPEAL TRUST

The Trust receives income from donations, raffles and investment dividends. Sub Committees have been set up to concentrate on investment management and grant allocations to organisations within the Manchester area who have applied for assistance and for providing holidays to families in need.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 26 years
