BENT & BONGS CHARITABLE TRUST

The principal activity of the charity as the trustees determine is the provision of grants.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
