DOBCROFT AFTER SCHOOL HOURS CARE (DASH) 

Provision of a safe, friendly environment for the daily care, recreation and learning of children aged 4 to 11 years during out of school hours.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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