TRUST FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ON THE ARMS TRADE (TREAT)

TREAT is a grant-giving charity which promotes research into the international arms trade and its effects, and disseminates the results of such research.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
