THE NORTHSTAR FOUNDATION

To support regeneration by all or any of the following: the advancement of education, training; the provision of financial or technical assistance to organisations and individuals wishing to develop entrepreneurial and other skills; provide opportunities for others; and such other exclusively charitable purpose as the Trustees may from time to time determine in accordance with the law of charity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
