OLIVE ACADEMIES FOUNDATION 

We fundraise and work with partners, so OA Foundation can offer grants and advice for enrichment programmes, via OA academies, that inspire Olive academy pupils and their families. Programmes supported involve extended learning opportunities, not activities that form part of the formal curriculum.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
