THE VALIANT CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trustees meet regularly to decide on the grants they wish to make.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
