RUFUS FRIENDS FUND

We give grants to provide holidays and breaks to individuals, families and special schools with a member or members with learning difficulties who could not otherwise afford them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

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
