THE GIBBONS FAMILY TRUST 

The Gibbons Family Trust awards grants to children and young people up the age of 25 living in Devon (with preference for East Devon) and in the Isle of Thanet, Kent. Grants can be made for the education, training, recreation and general welfare of young people (but not private school fees). Registered charities, organisations, and individuals (references are required) are eligible to apply.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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
