THE ALISTER HARDY TRUST

TO SUPPORT RESEARCH INTO RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
