CRANFORD HOUSE SCHOOL PARENTS ASSOCIATION 

The role of the Cranford House School Parents Association is twofold: to raise funds for Cranford House School for "extras" and to run social events to bring the parent community together.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
