THE ALTON COLLEGE FOUNDATION

To award scholarships and development grants to stimulate, encourage and reward excellence amongst 6th Form students at Alton College, Hampshire. To provide equipment for Alton College that can not be funded by Government.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
