SMALLPEICE TRUST LIMITED

The Charity provides public benefit by promoting the advancement of education and in particular engineering and technological education. The Charity promotes engineering, design, manufacturing, enterprise and technology as a career to young people aged from 8 to 18 by providing a professionally executed subsidised programme of residential courses and associated educational activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £19,420,052 available, equivalent to 53 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
