BLUESPARK FOUNDATION

BlueSpark supports the education and development of children and young people by providing grants for educational, cultural, sporting and other projects.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
