ROBERT BRUCE BARNES CHARITABLE TRUST 

The objects of the Trust are very broad. However, it is the present intention of the Trustees that income generated from the funds received will be applied to charitable causes benefiting young people in the UK, in particular in furtherance of their education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

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