FRIENDS OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR SCHOOL

The Friends of Knights Templar is a charity, set up to give parents, current and former pupils and their families, and in fact anyone who is interested in the success of KTS, the opportunity to make regular donations to the school. We are currently raising money for the new tech block.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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