ZOROASTRIAN TRUST FUNDS OF EUROPE (INCORPORATED) 

Providing facilities and conducting Religious activities for members of the Zoroastrian Faith in UK and Europe
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 13 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
