FRIENDS OF SHERWOOD PARK SCHOOL

Friends of Sherwood Park hold fundraising events such as fetes, disco's, quiz nights, sponsored events and the like, with the aim of providing necessary equipment, chairs, changing tables, playground, upkeep of the buses, Christmas presents for the pupils etc. Without the fundraising many of these things the school cannot afford, even though they are essential.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 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
