THE TOM EASTON FLAVASUM TRUST 

Raising awareness amongst young people of the dangers of carrying knives and other weapons by helping theatre companies put on anti-knife plays and workshops in schools and community centres, by using music and performance to promote an anti-knife message, by funding short music-based courses, by supporting debate, research and networking with families who have lost children through knife crime.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 17 years
