GRANGE FIRST SCHOOL PARENTS TEACHERS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

A charity run by the parents, teachers and friends of Grange First School for the purpose of raising additional funds for the school. We aim to provide resources, educational opportunities and extra curriculum activities enriching the lives of the children and community of Grange First School.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
