THE FILM AND TELEVISION CHARITY 

Relief of poverty and hardship for those who have worked in the film, cinema or commercial television industries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £24,254,000 available, equivalent to 58 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
Established: 21 years
