BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY TRUST

PROVIDES GRANTS TO EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS IN CERTAIN LONDON BOROUGHS

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
