THE BERNERS TRUST 

Our major sponsorship in the last and present financial years relates to the first staging in the UK of Berner's Opera Le Carrosse Du Saint-Sacrement (in English) by Dorset opera in July 2012.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
