THE FRIENDS OF BROOKLANDS SCHOOL

Friends of Brooklands School (from now on known as FOBS) charity aims are to raised funds to enhance the curriculum and provide opportunities above the curriculum for the children of Brooklands School, all of whom have severe, profound or complex learning difficulties, including autism.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

This will enable the organisation to run activities using specialist sensory equipment for students with sensory processing disorders, which are not issues that are considered main objectives within the national curriculum. Evidence shows that multi sensory activities can help improve the children's development in physical movement, communication and self esteem.
