THE ALEXANDRA WYLIE TOWER FOUNDATION

The Alexandra Wylie Tower Foundation works with local schools and community groups in London to provide essential provisions (e.g. clothes and food parcels); extra-curricular activities (e.g. music and drama workshops); and guidance and support (e.g. learning mentoring) to help young people achieve their dreams
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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