THE LAYZELL BURES CHARITY

Provision of farmland for rent at non-commercial rates to prospective young farmers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
