THE NORMAN TRUST
The main aims of the Trust are to support the Roundhouse Trust in running the Roundhouse in London as a Creative Centre for young people, and to provide support to disadvantaged young people. In pursuing its aims the charity has developed a vehicle for use, principally, in underdeveloped countries which will bring transport facilities to the many isolated communities that desperately need them.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an operating deficit of £39,239 for the year, largely due to a significant donation to the Roundhouse Trust. However, total funds increased to £6,724,276 following substantial investment gains of £675,095, resulting in unrestricted reserves of £1,037,518. The trustees confirm the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
