THE COBDEN CENTRE

TO UNDERTAKE RESEARCH INTO ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SCIENCE AND TO DISSEMINATE THE RESULTS THEREOF AND TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
