THE CENTRE FOR SPECIALIST EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE

We are a charity operating a wide range of community based ethnically sensitive programmes to promote educational provision, advocacy, quality of life, teenage and family support empowerment and community voluntary sector provision.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
