PROVIDING LIFELONG LEARNING EXPERIENCES TO THE TRAVELLER COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT LINCOLNSHIRE. THESE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL AGES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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