THE AMBERSTONE TRUST 

In accordance with the Settlor's wishes the Trustees have adopted a programme of distribution in certain limited fields for the foreseeable future to which the current undistributed balances in the trust are now provisionally earmarked.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 2 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
