THE RINGSFIELD HALL TRUST

* Educating children and young people so as to support their physical, emotional and spiritual development through outdoor learning*Research and development for social and emotional learning, environmental education and spirituality.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
Over half the Board have joined recently
and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
