GESS CHARITABLE TRUST

To apply the charity's income for the benefit of exclusively charitable purposes, and to make donations to charitable institutions, at the discretion of the trustees.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
