LEARNING FOR LIFE UK LIMITED

Learning for Life was established in 1993 as a reponse to the need for education, especially of girls, in South Asia. LfL works with local partners to bring education to areas where there is none, providing children with quality education from which they can build a life and break the chains of poverty.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be very static

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 but has stabilised more recently
