THE SUSSEX POLICE CHARITABLE TRUST

The charity provides assistance and support to members and retired members, including their partners and dependent family, who are in need and/or hardship and/or distress. Membership is open to Sussex police officers, staff, special constables and volunteers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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
