CRIBS CHARITABLE TRUST

CRiBS helps schools foster positive spiritual, moral, social, cultural values. We do this by delivering creative Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) lessons, Religious Education (RE) lessons, seasonal (Christmas and Easter) plays, small group sessions for struggling pupils, supporting secondary school Christian Unions and mentoring.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
