THE CITY OF DURHAM TRUST

The Trust encourages appreciation, and furthers the conservation, of the city and its environs. It participates fully in planning matters, holds lectures, makes occasional visits, issues regular newsletters and publishes occasional book, makes annual award for architecture and in 'Beautiful Durham' competition.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
