STARR TRUST 

The Starr Trust supports Individuals, Community Groups and Charities. We support Young People, or projects for Young People, up to the age of 25, where they are living in or are linked in some way to the Greater Brighton area and are facing roadblocks that are stopping them reaching their potential. This could be through Sport, Art, Education, Mental wellbeing, or even help with a new Business id
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased 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 a Community Foundation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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: 15 years
