THE FRIENDS OF RED ROW FIRST SCHOOL

The charity operates in Northumberland. It provides additional resources and equipment for children at Red Row First School. It also subsidises the cost of trips for pupils, especially those experiencing financial hardship. This also applies for residential trips away from school.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 2 trustees?
Why is the Board completely female?

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
