BCH TRUST

The charity receives donations and pays out grants mainly educational.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
