THE FRIENDS OF THE CHERWELL SCHOOL OXFORD

The charity's objects are to advance the education of the students at The Cherwell School in Oxford, and it does this by raising funds to make grants to the school to assist in the provision of facilities for education and educational wellbeing at the school.

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
