THE KENWARD TRUST

As set out in the Company's articles of association:1. the relief of sickness and poverty among alcoholics and drug addicts, the destitute and other persons in a state of poverty; in particular, but not exclusively by2.the provision of a home or homes for their rehabilitation treatment and shelter; &3. to do this in a manner consistent with Christian principles and values.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
