LOSTWITHIEL SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 

We organise various fundraising activities during the school year, along with helping out at school events such as providing refreshments at sports day, school plays etc. Our main event is a summer fayre, but we also have smaller xmas and easter fayres and discos at least every term.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
