CANTERBURY IMAGINE

To advance the early educational development of children in such areas of Bradford as the Trustees shall determine, in particular but not exclusively by; 1. Arranging for free books to be provided to children. 2. Assisting and supporting parents to read and enjoy books with their children 3. The provision of teaching and support in English for those who do not speak English as a first language.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
