THE VICTORIA WOOD FOUNDATION 

The Victoria Wood Foundation was set up after the death of Victoria Wood. It seeks to support the areas of the arts that Victoria was interested in in her lifetime, and in the parts of the country where she spent most of her life, in and around London and in the North of England.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
