THE OLD WORDSWORTHIANS ASSOCIATION

THE ASSOCIATION PROVIDES SUPPORT TO CURRENT PUPILS AT BISHOP WORDSWORTH'S SCHOOL, BOTH FINANCIAL & CONSULTATIVE, AS WELL AS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE BUILDINGS & FACILITIES, AS WELL AS CONSULTATIVE ADVICE TO THE HEADMASTER & STAFF AS NECESSARY.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • 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:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
