THE JACK BRUNTON CHARITABLE TRUST
The Trust was established primarily for the benefit of the population of rural villages and towns within the boundary of the old North Riding of Yorkshire. Whilst most contributions go to established charities, all good causes will be considered and investigated. Only in extremely rare and special circumstances does the Trust make donations to individuals or charities outside the specified area.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves were £61,499 at the year end, which the trustees consider higher than generally needed for short-term requirements. The trust reported a net decrease in funds of £7,087, driven by a significant fall in investment values due to market volatility, although the endowment fund value remained substantial at over £10.6 million.
