THE AMR SCIAMA CHARITABLE TRUST 

The relief of poverty and hardship of members of the Jewish faith; the advancement of the Jewish religion through Jewish education; and the promotion of any other exclusively charitable objects as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
