WENT TREE TRUST 

(a) Provision of grants to those people of Hastings who wish to emigrate to Commonwealth countries (the Emigration Fund)(b) Provision of grants for the purchase of artefacts for the Hastings Museum (the Museum Fund)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
