THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF BLACKSMITHS CHARITABLE TRUST

TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR TRAINEE BLACKSMITHS AND TO MAKE DONATIONS TO APPROVED CHARITIES AT THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUSTEE

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly 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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
