THE JOSEPH AND FRANCES CLARK TRUST 

PRESERVATION OF THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF STREET AND ISTS VACINITY, AND THE BENEFIT OF THE INHABITANTS OF STREET AND ITS VACINITY
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
