THE STUART LOW TRUST

We tackle social isolation because it shortens lives and can't be cured by medicine. We bring people together to improve health and wellbeing with award-winning activities that build confidence and enable everyone to contribute to and benefit from a friendlier and more supportive community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
