MIGRANT TRAINING COMPANY

Providing English(ESOL Skills For Life)/ ICT /Adult Literacy/Numeracy courses /employment support
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
