THE SCHOOL KIT PROJECT

SKiP is a volunteer-led group founded to help improve the lives of children of local families within the Bath & North East Somerset area. Families may find themselves in temporary financial hardship or, increasingly, in in-work poverty. We give this help by way of providing each child referred to us with new school related items, such as uniform, bags and shoes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
