FORSTERS CHARITABLE FUND

Making grants to charitable organisations with some connection to Forsters LLP, its clients or its staff.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

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
