THE ANIMAL DEFENCE TRUST

The charity is a grant giving charity making grants annually to other animal welfare charities throughout Great Britain and also abroad.The charity also makes representations to the European Union regarding the treatment of farm animals transported from the United Kingdom to Europe, and across European countries over often very hot long distances without adequate rest and watering.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

Financial issues to consider:

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