STANTON DREW AND PENSFORD PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

SESSIONAL DAYCARE FOR CHILDREN 2 - 5 YEARS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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