FRANKS FAMILY FOUNDATION 

TO FURTHER SUCH CHARITABLE PURPOSES AS RELIEF OF POVERTY, SICKNESS AND DISTRESS, ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE WORLD.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
