EDITH ELMS SPECIAL SCHOOL TRUST

To provide grants to the Shorefields School in Clacton by providing or assisting in the provision of educational, recrational and other charitable facilities in augmentation of such facilities financed by the Local Education Authority.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
