THE JOHN AVINS TRUST 

Support given to Hospitals and medical charities in or near Birmingham, and supporting small Organisations
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
