BOOTHAM SCHOOL

TO CARRY ON SUCH SCHOOL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS FOR THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN OF MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS AND OTHERS.
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
