ALPHA TUTORIALS

As an Educational Charity in the Inner City, We provide free Basic Numeracy ansd Literacy help to adults who cannot read or write. Over 90% of the Adults who come to our venue are unemployed and cannot engage in meaningful employment due to poor Literacy Skills. These adults do not have access to an Internet connection or a home Computer. They come to our centre for advice and guidance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
