1ST THE QUEEN'S DRAGOON GUARDS REGIMENTAL TRUST

Grants are made to help promote the efficiency of the Regiment, for the relief in need of all past and present members of the Regiment or its predecessors and their wives and widows, and for the advancement of education in respect of the history of the Regiment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board 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
