THE LADY MICO TRUST 

The objects of the Lady Mico Trust are to give support, over and above that available from the Government of Jamaica, to Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica, and more generally to assist the education of young persons resident in Commonwealth countries of the West Indies, having regard in all of this to promotion of education in the Christian faith.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • Spending is declining
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
