INSOLE COURT TRUST/YMDDIRIEDOLAETH CWRT INSOLE 

The Charity's objectives are: to restore, preserve, and protect Insole Court and its gardens for the public benefit; to provide education in its conservation and history; and to benefit the residents of the community by providing community facilities for social welfare and recreation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
