THE BENENDEN CHARITABLE TRUST 

The relief of hardship and distress caused by sickness, infirmity, disability or any medical condition by providing financial assistance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

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
