TESTLANDS SUPPORT PROJECT

United in our common goal; every child, irrelevant of their starting points, deserve an opportunity and a chance to experience success, not only in school but also in life. We believe, as the Testlands Support Project (TSP) that sport and education can unite to provide exactly this.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
