THE STUDENT VIEW

The Student View (TSV) is an education and media charity. We aim to create a newsroom in every school and our site offers young people a platform to share their world through words.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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