CHIPS GUILDFORD 

Our small charity delivers fun, safe and stimulating Easter and summer holiday play provision in the Ash, Stoke and Westborough wards of Guildford, that every year increases the confidence and self-esteem of over 240 vulnerable and disadvantaged children aged 4 to 11 years-old, raises their aspirations, gets them active and improves their mental health.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

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