THE MARC SMITH EDUCATIONAL CHARITY 

Applicants for further education grants must reside in Claybooke Magna, Claybrooke Parva, Ullesthorpe or Wibtoft and be under 24 years. There are grants for pupils, resident in these villages, to help them move from primary schools to Upper Schools. Grants are made to Ullesthorpe and Claybrooke Parva schools for education projects. All these grants are subject to the income of the charity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
