SEATON SLUICE FIRST SCHOOL PARENTS, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION 

Social activities for children and adults to help raise funds to improve and advance the education and wellbeing of the young children within the school.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 29 years
