THE FRIENDS OF LANGLEY PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

We run fundraising activities for Langley Park Primary School, Durham. We host a variety of events from discos, to fairs, to pancake parties and coffee mornings. All monies raised go towards the school. We purchase a range of resources for the school and fund treats/new experiences for the pupils.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
