THE SIR JOHN SEDLEY EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION 

To provide funds for young people under 25 years on proven application for further education of an academic or vocational nature. Limited to Wymondham and peripheral parishes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
