SPEAKERS' CORNER TRUST

Speakers' Corner Trust promotes freedom of speech, public debate and active citizenship as a means of revitalising civil society in the UK and supporting its development in emerging democracies.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
