COUNCIL FOR SUBJECT ASSOCIATIONS

The Council for Subject Associations exists to strengthen the role, operational effectiveness and influence of subject associations. It promotes subject association membership to teachers in all sectors of education for the benefit of learners, and offers a single voice in representing the interests of its members to the broadest range of education stakeholders.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
