THE FRIENDS OF COPLEY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 

We raise money for the benefit of the children of Copley School to provide them with things that the school budget can not provide. We raise money via a wide range of fundraising events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
