WESTWAY TRUST

Westway Trust will deliver enterprise, retail, community, cultural and sporting opportunities together with improvements to the public realm on our estate by the A40 Westway. By harnessing the creativity, heritage and diversity that makes the area so special, we will ensure distinctive and attractive spaces that the local community can continue to be proud of, and which visitors can enjoy.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £49,463,000 available, equivalent to 100 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
