THE TOWER HOUSE SCHOOL CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Education of boys aged 4 -13yrs
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £6,542,848 available, equivalent to 27 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
