THE HEBRIDEAN TRUST LIMITED 

The Hebridean Trust was formed in 1982 with the aim of helping reverse the population decline in the Hebridean islands by creating jobs and income for those living on the islands, restoring buildings of architectural significance and informing the general public about the Hebrides, its way of life, its Gaelic culture and its natural heritage.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly 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
