THE DURHAM PALESTINE EDUCATIONAL TRUST

The Trust seeks to aid the economic and social development of Palestine and to spread knowledge about Palestine in Durham area. We do this, principally, by offering, in conjunction with the University of Durham, scholarships for Masters courses at the University of Durham.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
