THE BEAUCHAMP LODGE SETTLEMENT

Beauchamp Lodge Settlement operates the Floating Classroom on the Grand Union and Regent's Canals. From this purpose-built boat we teach a programme of hands-on science, environment and history lessons to schoolchildren from across London. We also work in partnership with other groups, for whom the boat is available as a venue for vast range of community-focused activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
