THE TONBRIDGE CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP 

The Tonbridge Children's Workshop has recently appointed new trustees and from the 4th January 2016 will be commencing operations as the activities previously carried out in its name by Fegans (209930) are being transferred back to it.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
