WILLIAM PALMER COLLEGE EDUCATIONAL TRUST 

After maintaining its property, the Trust provides prizes and special benefits while promoting the education of the relevant beneficiaries who must be under the age of 25 years, in need of financial assistance and either residents of the Ancient Parish of Grays Thurrock or are attending or have for not less than two consecutive academic years at any time attended the school of the charity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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
Established: 58 years
