THE MORRIS CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Morris Charitable Trust has been established as a trust since 1989 to provide support for charitable causes.

Particular emphasis is placed on supporting charitable causes within The London Borough of Islington.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
