THE SEVEN SOWERS CHARITABLE TRUST

Our current main activity is to provide funding for the continued employment of our Children's Schools' and Families' Worker.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly female

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
