THE CUCKOO HILL TRUST 

Making donations for the relief of poverty, financing training and businesses with the aim of lifting people out of social exclusion in keeping with and inspired by the teaching of the Catholic Church
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
