THE METCALF EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION 

The Foundation assists in meeting the educational needs of children resident in Stonham Aspal or Pettaugh by making grants for purposes outside the remit of the Local Educational Authority. It maintains a residential bungalow, originally intended to provide a home for a village schoolmaster in Stonham Aspal.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
