THE FASHION & TEXTILE CHILDREN'S TRUST 

The Fashion & Textile Children's Trust offers grants to families working in the UK fashion or textile industry. Our grants cover the cost of essential items including school uniform, bedding and specialist items including mobility equipment. We also provide funding towards the cost of educational support, therapies and counselling, where no state funding is available.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
miles
