FRIENDS OF WEST PENNARD SCHOOL

Fund raising for activities and providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
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 recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • and returns have been filed late on 3 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
