THE MARY JANE ENTWISTLE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
The Trust can assist throughout the area from South Ribble to Chorley North, but special needs elsewhere can be considered. Its aims are to provide for the benefit of persons underprivileged and needy and where state benefits are not available.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £3,289,330, an increase from the previous year's £3,079,760, driven by significant investment gains. The trustees report that the charity is not reliant on investment returns to fund grant-making and has no requirement to continue in perpetuity, indicating a stable financial position despite expenditure exceeding income from operations.
