BENJAMIN WEIR TRUST 

The trustees invite or receive requests for funding from organisations providing health and care services for medical and ancillary equipment in accordance with the objectives of the trust as set out in the scheme of commissioners dated 24 April 1995.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
