THE SALISBURY DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION 

The charity's activities include assisting schools within the diocese to develop and maintain the distinctive Christian nature of church schools. We support schools and governors in all aspects of their responsibilities and also work in close strategic partnership with local authorities to influence school organisation and raise standards and achievements. We are developing Christian outreach.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
