DUDLEY AND GEOFFREY COX CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trust does not accept funding applications. Instead, the trustees decide of their own motion which charities the Trust will support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
