WILTSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE CHARITABLE TRUST

THE CHARITY'S OBJECTS ARE THE RELIEF OF SICKNESS AND INJURY AND PROTECTION OF HUMAN LIFE BY RAISING SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO FINANCE THE PROVISION AND SUPPORT OF AN AIR AMBULANCE FOR THE COUNTY OF WILTSHIRE AND ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £10,207,091 available, equivalent to 25 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised

Established: 13 years
