ASDAN 

ASDAN's aim is the advancement of education, by providing opportunities for all learners to develop their personal and social attributes and levels of achievement through the use and attainment of ASDAN awards and qualifications, and the relief of poverty, where poverty inhibits such opportunities for learners. We have now developed more than 80 programmes of educational activity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
