THE FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL OF KING CHARLES II AT BRADFORD 

The provision of a high-quality education to boys and girls in Bradford to boys and girls who would benefit from such a provision. Bursary awards are made to help fund the education of children whose families might otherwise struggle to afford the School's fees
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity uses a corporate trustee

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
