    THE WALTER AND LIESEL SCHWAB CHARITABLE TRUST 

    The Walter & Liesel Schwab Charitable Trust was established to assist young refugees and asylum seekers in accessing education. The Trust gives small grants to help young refugees and asylum seekers with their studies. Grants range from helping with transport costs, computers and books to helping with fees as necessary. The grants are dependent on the young person's immigration status.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

    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
