THE GODINTON CHARITABLE TRUST

The charity is a privately funded grant-making charity. It issues no appeals for funding.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
