MATHSMAKERS 

The objectives of MathsMakers are to advance and promote mathematics education for young people in England. To achieve these objectives, MathsMakers delivers online and in-person afterschool and Saturday mathematics intervention programmes for students aged 10-16.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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