THE MICHAEL AND ANNA WIX CHARITABLE TRUST 

Makes grants to organisations throughout England and Wales for general charitable purposes, at the discretion of the trustees
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
