THE DAVID PICKFORD CHARITABLE FOUNDATION 

The objectives of the foundation are set out in Clause 2 of the Deed which states that the trustees shall hold the trust fund and the income thereof to pay or apply the annual income of any part of the capital of the trust fund to, or for, such charitable institution, or institutions, or other charitable objects, or objects as the trustees shall from time to time at their discretion select
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
