CAMPAIGN FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 

Our mission is to raise the political profile of science and engineering. We passionately believe in the importance of scientific and technological education and development, and the vital need for the funding of this research by Government and industry. The strength of our policy advocacy is due to our political networks, independent analysis, broad membership, and responsiveness.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
