FRIENDS OF BEALINGS SCHOOL

We are a charity which supports the school by raising additional funding to benefit the children.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?
  • and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • 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
