IDEAS MATTER

The Ideas Matter charity seeks to renew social life through debate, discussion and education about the big ideas that have inspired humanity. Ideas Matter believes that the basis of good citizenship and education, our charitable purposes, is engagement with the ideas that have been articulated, challenged and discussed in major events throughout history.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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