THE RALPH AND MERIEL RICHARDSON FOUNDATION 

The support of established actors and actresses and their families who are experiencing seriously hard times.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile recently
