THE DUCKWORTH TRUST 

Provision of age-related financial assistance to people aged at 90 years living within a radius of 25 miles of York Minster.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
