THE BARNES WALLIS FOUNDATION 

We became a CIO July 2014 and now have 8 Trustees from across Britain. We continue to maintain links with two schools in Yorkshire, awarding certificates for students work. We have sponsored a student from Barnes Wallis Academy, Tattershall to attend Space Camp in Alabama. Trustees continue to give talks to groups around the UK, and in 2018 we held exhibitions in Barrow-in-Furness and Grantham.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
