THE CHANCE TRUST 

Since 1924 the Trust has been providing support for individuals living in the Deaneries of Warley and West Bromwich; an area covered by the southern part of Sandwell Borough in the West Midlands. Where public funding is not avaialble, grants are made to alleviate poverty and to enable access to education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
