THE SEWELL CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Trust is a small family-run trust which makes grants to charitable projects in any part of the world. Most projects are linked to the Society of Friends (Quakers) or are known personally to the Trustees. Grants are normally of up to £500, for development work rather than core running costs. Applications are not sought. We do not make grants to large national charities or to individuals.
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
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
Established: 46 years
