AMIGOS PRE-SCHOOL 

Amigos is a multi-cultural pre school which aims to help children from different cultures and background to interact harmoniously. We are proud to have children from many different countries and backgrounds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
