THEYDON BOIS PLAYGROUP ASSOCIATION

Pre-school nursery education for the children of Theydon Bois, Essex
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • All of the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
