NATIONAL ANIMAL WELFARE TRUST 

The National Animal Welfare Trust's primary purpose is to rescue and re-home animals, primarily cats and dogs, but also farm animals and small domestic pets too.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,003,498 available, equivalent to 30 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
