THE COTSWOLD PRIMROSE CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trustees operate a general grant giving policy, providing funds predominantly to charities whose fields of operation focus on allowing individuals access to education, training, work and sports and physical activities within the UK only. Applications to the Charity for donations will only be considered if received in writing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 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
