G F MACAULAY CHARITABLE TRUST

Grant making principally to charities, mainly to promote religious activities and relieve poverty
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • 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 2 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
