EDINBURGH TRUST NO2 ACCOUNT 

The Trust supports general charitable purposes, however each year a proportion of the income is applied for the promotion and advancement of education and of the efficiency of the Armed Services of the Crown, within the UK and overseas at the discretion of the Trustees.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • All of the Board have joined recently

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
