HELWEL TRUST 

Any charitable purpose connected to or relating to the provision of medical care and services, advancement of education or relief of poverty, sickness or distress among the peoples of the entire Continent of Africa. Activities are almost entirely fundraising and grant giving.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
