GROOMBRIDGE PRE-SCHOOL

Sessional pre-school.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is completely female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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