BEEDING AND BRAMBER PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

The provision of pre-school playgroup facilities in Upper Beeding, West Sussex
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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