THE OLWEN MCPHERSON TRUST 

The AbleChild Trust focus on helping children who have some form of disability, either from birth or due to injury. The children range in ages from 0-18 years. As a Charity we are able to provide support to individual children by granting financial aid or making loans. We are also able to provide direct financial support; working in conjunction with organisations helping children with disability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
