HOWE DELL PARENT/STAFF ASSOCIATION

The charity raised money to enhance the provision and experience of education whilst part of Howe Dell School, Howe Dell Day Care or whilst registered to use the facilities at Howe Dell Family Centre.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
