THE BRIERLEY HILL PROJECT

-To promote and advance the mental, spiritual, moral and physical development, education and improvement of children and young people in accordance with a framework of Christian principles so as to develop their full capacities and enable them to become responsible members of society so that their conditions of life may be improved.-To help alleviate social and economic poverty of those in need

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
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
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
