THE BUCKFASTLEIGH TRUST

Acts as an umbrella organisation for local community initiatives, such as the Valiant Soldier Museum and the Buckfastleigh Wool Festival. Acts as a enabler of community heritage and education activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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