FRIENDS OF FOREST HOUSE EDUCATION CENTRE

To raise funds to provide resources and equipment for the pupils at Forest House Education Centre.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
