BOLTON UNDER FIVES FORUM 

Advancement of education and welfare of children, including children with special educational needs and disabilities, in the Bolton area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
