THE ROYAL CALEDONIAN EDUCATION TRUST

In support of the education and wellbeing of the offspring of current and former Scottish Armed Forces personnel.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
