CHANDRAN FOUNDATION 

Chandran Foundation aims to help young people from all backgrounds achieve their potential. Our tutors work with under 11s to improve Maths and English and build confidence. Chandran Foundation runs after school clubs, now called GetSmart clubs for primary school children to improve Maths and English skills.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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