THE PURSLOW TRUST 

The trustees have decided that the priorities for funding over the coming years will be to help the poor and disadvantaged, advance education and advance health. The charity has effectively been dormant until the donation of £1,000,000 in December 2019. Since then it has made a donation of £20,000 via The Cheshire Community Foundation charity to support disadvantaged young mothers in Warrington.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
