COLBATCH AND HOOPER'S EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

For the Village of Orwell and Petersfield School in Orwell. The trust helps support vocational and educational training
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
