HIGHFIELD FRIENDS AND PARENTS ASSOCIATION 

Within the school and wider community, we organise and deliver fundraising events. We raise money for a variety of equipment and activities for the benefit of all children attending Highfield School, which the school is unable to purchase from statutory funds. We support the development of new opportunities, including work experience and enterprising activities.
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 recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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