WATLING VIEW PARENT STAFF ASSOCIATION

To provide a forum for support for the parents carers and staff associated with Watling View School, and to raise funds for the benefit of the school
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
