ASPIRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

To advance and promote for the public benefit the education of young people and pupils at the academies of the multi academy trust Aspire Schools in such ways as the charity trustees think fit. This is done by analysing the needs of our school community beyond statutory education, and providing additional opportunities and experience in meeting such needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

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
