CAMBRIDGE ONLINE

Cambridge Online is an educational charity working across Cambridgeshire and the East of England helping disadvantaged (including disabled) people use computers and digital devices by providing education, training and advice to individuals and groups. Our aim is to broaden digital awareness and to raise levels of digital inclusion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
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
