SIGHTLINES INITIATIVE

We support creative thinking and practice in early childhood services in North-East England and across the UK. Sightlines Initiative is the UK reference point for the Reggio Children Network. It was created to develop practice in UK early childhood services that promote the growth of children's creative potential

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female
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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
