THE CHILDREN'S BOOKSHOW

The Children's Bookshow Limited continues to provide children with education in the art of literature. The charity organises 'The National Tour of Writers and Illustrators of Children's Literature' which covers 15 theatre performances and 60 in-school workshops across the United Kingdom and continues to prove popular every financial year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
