ROYAL CROSS PRIMARY SCHOOL PTFA 

The PTFA was set up to raise funds for additional resources to enhance the educational experiences of deaf pupils at the school. Although Royal Cross is based in Preston, pupils come from all over Lancashire and neighbouring authorities. Charity activities include fundraising for a new minibus, signed theatre performances, subsidised family outings and workshops, fun days and social events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 9 years
