SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS INNOVATING FOR RESULTS

STIR is building a movement of teacher changemakers to address the global learning crisis. STIR searches for teachers in the system with a spark of innovation and commitment; networks changemakers together locally, so they can share and implement classroom 'micro-innovations', and influence peers; and then connects them to partners and policy makers who can support them to improve learning.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
