FRIENDS OF MAYFIELD SCHOOL 

Friends of Mayfield Primary School is essentially a Parent Teacher Association which also welcomes involvement from members of the local community. We raise funds in order to supply the school with much-needed equipment and curricular support, as well as those all-important "extras" for the children. We also arrange social events, for children and families, to help build the school community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
