HELEN MATHIESON CHARITABLE TRUST 

This Charity's main concerns have been for the advancement of education and religion for which purpose it has provided funds to support Abbess Adelicia Charity, The Church Union, Llwyn Onn Burial Ground Trust, Stop Stansted Expansion, and Staploe Education Trust during the 12 months under review
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There is only 1 trustee
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 53 years
