JOSEPH AND JANE DOWNIE'S BEQUEST FOR DISTRICT VISITING SOCIETY 

Makes annual grants to individual applicants in Aberystwyth as submitted by lady Visitors appointed by the Trustees
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

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 significantly lower than spending in the latest year
