THE WOOLBEDING CHARITY 

The Woolbeding Charity was established to bring to completion the remaining grant commitments and legacy work of The Monument Trust, after 53 years of philanthropy since its foundation in 1965 by the late Simon Sainsbury. Foremost within the Trustees' work has been the development of a new Glasshouse for the garden at Woolbeding in Sussex, a property owned and operated by the National Trust.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
