THE WOMEN OF VISION TRUST

To support the Watford Grammar School for Girls, in particular:- to develop and maintain the fabric and amenities of the school- to advance the education of pupils - to apply such sums in whatever other charitable ways the Trustees consider to promote the well being of the school and pupils
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
