APRIL TRUST 

The Charity operates from a private house. The Trustees meet quarterly and make donations for charitable projects according to the legacy which forms our capital. We donate to medical research, arts projects and educational foundations. Further information available on our website.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
