THE BLACKWELL CHARITABLE TRUST 

The trust fund is held as capital and income for such charitable institutions and charitable purposes as the Trustees at their total discretion think fit. The Trust distributes to registered (or exempt) charities and no donations are made directly to individuals. A variety of charitable causes is included in the Trust's work, and donations are made out of both income and capital.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 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
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 60 years
