THE SYBIL CHARITABLE TRUST 

Objects are to relieve poverty and advance education in the counties of Norfolk, Cheshire and North Shropshire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

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
