ROYAL DOCKS TRUST (LONDON) 

Provision of grants to voluntary organisations and community groups for activities within the Trust's charitable objects
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
Established: 29 years
