FREEDOM TO LEARN

Freedom to Learn provides the opportunity of education to children from some of the remotest and poorest regions of the Himalayas working with non-profit organisations in India and Nepal with similar goals and ethos. FtL also partners with UK schools with their Sister Schools programme generating global friendships and partnership learning projects based within the UN SDG guidelines and framework.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently
