PURLEY OVERSEAS TRUST 

Purley Overseas Trust raises funds by organising fund-raising events, and by soliciting donations. We use the funds raised to finance projects in Developing Countries for the relief of poverty and to sponsor visits to these countries for relief work. We inform the people of Purley and surrounding districts of the problems of Developing Countries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
