FRIENDS OF DITCHEAT SCHOOL

To support and provide additional funds for the benefit of pupils at Ditcheat Primary School

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 2 trustees?
Why is the Board completely female?
All of the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
