THE LICHFIELD DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCATION 

To promote and assist in the promotion of education within the Lichfield Diocese, consistent with the faith and practice of the Church of England, including the promotion of religious education and worship in schools within the Diocese.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
