THE WEINSTOCK FUND 

The Weinstock Trust aims to support a wide range of charitable causes in England, particularly in the South West , in the fields of welfare, children, education, medicine, music and the arts. Charities must be registered in the United Kingdom. The Trust tends not to support research projects, hospices, campaigning or projects based abroad.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
