GOSFORTH PARK FIRST SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION

Uses funds raised to improve facilities, provide curriculum enhancements and support to Gosforth Park First School.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased 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 are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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