    SALE WEST COMMUNITY URBAN TRUST

    The objective of the Trust is to relieve the needs of children, their families and carers in such ways as the trustees think fit with a view to developing their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and intellectual capabilities and that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society, and that their conditions of life may be improved.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

    Financial issues to consider:

    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
