THE ROTHSAY EDUCATION CENTRE (BEDFORD) LTD

TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL NEEDS PRIMARILY FOR PEOPLE OVER 50 AND NOT IN FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
