The charity will provide cash grants to charities, as well as other forms of financial support, focusing upon health/healthcare and amateur sport charities, as well as other charities in other sectors. It will support charities in particular on a local Bristol area basis and South-West of England/Bristol/Gloucestershire regional basis, as well as support at a national/international level.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
