    THE BRIGHTSPACE FOUNDATION

    To enable, promote and demonstrate sustainable development within the county of Herefordshire
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • 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
    • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
