THE ROBERT DIXON CHARITABLE TRUST 

The Charity is very small and can only support selected worthy causes targeted and holding prior approval by the Trustees in the areas of medical research, health and well-being, and to animal, wildlife and environmental concerns and those who find themselves in particular hardship. The Trust regrets it cannot make other arbitrary donations however deserving.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

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 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
