CONGLETON INCLOSURE TRUST

The trustees invite applications for grants from any appropriate person or organisation as detailed in A8 but stress that they can only consider those which are for the benefit of the residents of the area of benefit (ie the town of Congleton (Cheshire) and the parishes of Astbury, Hulme Walfield, Eaton, North Rode, Bosley and Somerford).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
