CHELTENHAM LADIES COLLEGE 

TO PROVIDE A SOUND AND BROADLY BASED EDUCATION FOR GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN (AND ALSO, IF SO DETERMINED BY COUNCIL, BOYS AND YOUNG MEN) IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES AND TO AFFORD FACILITIES FOR STUDY AND RESEARCH
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
