THE SLYNN FOUNDATION

The foundation was established to provide support advice to countries of Europe and other parts of the world. This is done through lectures and seminars to lawyers in these countries, and to create and award fellowships, to help promising young lawyers to spend a period in London gaining .useful practical experience .

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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