EAST SUSSEX FARMERS' BENEVOLENT FUND

Financial assistance to farmers, farm staff and those involved in all of the wider land based industries and dependants of these groups. Mainly in the county of Sussex but also in adjoining counties at the Trustees discretion. Support can be short or long term to cover, for example, illness, support in retirement or financial difficulties and can also be for those entering land based education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
