ASH LEA SCHOOL FUND 

School for students with moderate to severe and complex learning difficulties. Financially supporting students with residential activities, off site activities and specialist equipment to meet the needs of the children.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 29 years
