BROADFIELD FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

Support and enhance the educational opportunities available to the pupils of Broadfield Specialist School
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

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