THE GORDON FRASER CHARITABLE TRUST 

The trustees general favour charities operating in Scotland but not to the exclusion of charities operating solely in England and/or Wales and/or Northern Ireland. The trustees favour organisations involved with the performing arts and those that further the visual arts and museums.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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
