THE MATTHEWS WRIGHTSON CHARITY TRUST

The Trust supports smaller charities in the UK and overseas, particularly those working with the young, disabled and underprivileged,though most areas of charitable work are considered. Grants are not normally made to large national charities. The trustees would not normally support animal charities nor the maintenance of the fabric of churches,schools and village halls.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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