THE LEOPOLD TRUST 

The Leopold String Trio disbanded in October 2012. The Trust is using its remaining funds to support suitable projects involving the Trio's former members.The Trust may also facilitate support for other ensembles where appropriate, but does not make grants to uninvited applicants.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile recently
