WHITEFIELD DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

Supporting the work of the Whitefield Schools and Centre, Macdonald Road Walthamstow London E17 4AZ, which school is pre-eminent in the education of children and young people with complex special needs
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
