FRIENDS OF THE RIDGEWAY COMMUNITY SCHOOL 

Fundraising support for The Ridgeway Community School
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
