SQUASH SQUARED

Squash Squared provides after-school squash coaching combined with extra curricular educational support to deserving children in the London area who may otherwise not have the means to access these services. These activities are conducted at selected squash clubs and financed through donations and fundraising endeavours.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
