AMBLE DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

Formed as a Limited Company in 1994 the Trust became a registered charity 1995. The principle mission and objective of the Trust is to regenerate Amble by taking a lead in most aspects of economic, social and community regeneration in partnership with other agencies to provide the conditions and infrastructure for the restoration of community self-confidence, self esteem and economic prosperity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 28 years
