SIR WALTER ST.JOHN'S EDUCATIONAL CHARITY 

Grants to individuals under the age of 25 for educational activity resident in the area of benefit, and for work of an educational nature done by organisations in the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 15 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
