HALTWHISTLE LITTLE STAR PR- SCHOOL

The Charity operates a Day Nursery for children in Haltwhistle and the surrounding area from birth to 4 years of age. The Charity also runs Playgroup sessions and a before and after school club.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
