THE KIER FOUNDATION

The Kier Foundation operates as Kier Group plc's permanent charity partner and provides support for Kier employees and Kier businesses in fundraising for charities of their choice. It organises fundraising for Kier Group's corporate charity partner, which is selected every two years, with the help and support of Kier employees.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
