FIORENTINI FOUNDATION 

The Foundation holds fund-raising activities to raise money which it allocates as financial support enabling less privileged, socially-excluded and disabled children in the inner cities in London to access performing arts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

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