THE CHIAWA TRUST 

Raising funds through a variety of means to send to recipients to promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public through the relief of poverty, improve conditions of socially disadvantaged communities and promote economic growth and regeneration.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
