THE MICHAEL MARSH CHARITABLE TRUST 

Grants are broadly divided between charities helping old people children disabled the poor and educationally needy.Trustees favour grants to specific projects for locally based smaller charities but will also consider larger projects.Trustees will consider pledging a grant, subject to remaining project funding found by the charity.Generally applications for running costs will not be considered.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

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 but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
