    THE GIRDLERS' COMPANY CHARITABLE TRUST

General applications are welcomed from these institutions who have an annual income less than -ú1 million, or whose beneficiaries reside in Peckham or Hammersmith.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    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
