COVENTRY DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION 

The Charitable Company operating under the Diocesan Board of Education measures provides services to Church of England Schools and Academies within the Diocese of Coventry.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
