NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THE TRAINING OF JOURNALISTS 

The principal activities of the Charity are the provision, supervision and accreditation of journalism-related training, and the directors intend to continue to develop these activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
