ACKWORTH SCHOOL

The provision of bursaries to children wishing to attend Ackworth school and the provision of facilities to people in the wider Ackworth community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
There have been no material 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
