CONNIE ROTHMAN LEARNING TRUST 

Education, including full time programmes for vulnerable and excluded students, those needing help after school, tutoring and mentoring for young carers and other vulnerable groups
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
