THE PAUL BASSHAM CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trust has wide charitable objects and the Trustees have uncontrolled discretion to apply both capital and income of the Trust Fund for charitable purposes. Preference is given to Norfolk based charitable causes of any kind provided they are legally charitable. Donations will not normally be made to individuals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely 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
