THE BRIDGE GROUP

Advancing social equality and the relief of socio-economic disadvantage, with a focus on access and progression in higher education and the professions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants and contracts
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
