THE SALAMANDER CHARITABLE TRUST

We give to registered charities for their charitable purposes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
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
