SECURING SUCCESS

Securing Success supports supplementary schools in Harrow to access training, quality assurance (NRCSE Quality Mark) and mainstream curriculum funding. In addition the charity consults with schools to establish projects in NW London which benefit children who are disadvantaged or who would benefit from additional support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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