COLTON PARISH LANDS 

The charity provides relief in need to residents of the parish of Colton, Staffordshire. Donations are considered by the trustees on an individual basis upon application to the trust. Should sufficient funds be available, the trustees consider, again on an individual basis, applications for general charitable purposes benefitting the residents of the parish of Colton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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