ERNEST HECHT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

Supports various UK-registered charities particularly those that benefit the disadvantaged, by providing financial assistance with the aim of making a difference by improving the quality of people's lives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
