TUTORFAIR FOUNDATION

We arrange tutoring free of charge to people who for whatever reason have not had access to education or who need to or wish to advance their education. Ordinarily this is done in the context of a school, with the schools selected on the basis of high deprivation within their catchments, and otherwise we work in partnership with other educational charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition 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
