THE PROBERT CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trustees will apply the income and, at their discretion, all or part of the capital of the charity in furthering its objects. The aims and objectives of the charity will be fulfilled principally by channelling grants via The Suffolk Community Foundation to grassroots charities addressing deprivation in Suffolk.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
