    The purpose of the Charity is to raise donations/funds to enhance the learning and facilities at two special schools, College Park School for pupils with autism and complex learning needs within the moderate range and Queen Elizabeth ll Jubilee School for pupils with severe and profound and multiple learning difficulties..
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • 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
