THE PEEL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP FUND 

The charity makes awards to students, under 25 years of age, resident in or in the neighbourhood of Blackburn, who are entering university or other institutions of higher education for degree courses. Candidates must be nominated by the head teacher or principal of the college attended and will be selected using set criteria: academic excellence, career ambitions and financial need.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
