THE LANGFORD TRUST FOR ANIMAL HEALTH AND WELFARE 

we relieve suffering and further animal welfare by promoting the practice, advancement and teaching of veterinary science and we foster public education in animal health and welfare by supporting the university of Bristol school of veterinary science.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
