BUSY BEES

Pre School

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly 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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
