LAURISTON LIGHTS LTD

Lauriston Lights is a charity that brings together high-achieving children with students from universities across the UK in the transitional summer between primary and secondary. Over a two week summer camp, we hope to help children find the confidence and skills to thrive in the difficult first year of secondary school and beyond.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
