THE ASK CHARITABLE TRUST 

The aims of the Charity are general charitable ones. The Charity will carry out its aims by making donations to other charitable organisations. The criteria which the trustees of the Charity will apply in selecting which charities and charitable activities they will support will be the degree of public benefit that such charities or activities promote.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
