BLOOMFIELD LEARNING CENTRE FOR CHILDREN LIMITED 

The Bloomfield Learning Centre is an assessment and teaching unit for children and young adults with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. We work primarily with children from poor socio-economic backgrounds whose families are unable to pay for specialist literacy teaching.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 31 years
