THE REAL LIFE 4 ME TRUST 

Advocacy, advice and information to pupils, parents and the local community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • This charity appears to be dormant
