THE DOUGHTY FAMILY FOUNDATION 

The objectives of The Charity are to relieve sickness and to preserve health, to relieve financial hardship, to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education and appreciation of the arts and science and to further religious work and education, in any part of the world and to carry out such other charitable purposes as the Trustees may decide from time to time.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 15 years
