BIRKENHEAD SCHOOL FOUNDATION TRUST 

The Trust assists Birkenhead School in various ways: by giving money to the School for the provision of bursaries; and by providing money to the School for capital and special projects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants and contracts
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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