LONG MEADOW SCHOOL FUND

We raise funds for school events, eg fetes / school visits and also participate in organised charity events for other organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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