LEEDS FAITH IN SCHOOLS

For the benefit of young people in Leeds and the surrounding areas - to advance education, provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving their conditions of life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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