THE GOLD FROM THE STONE FOUNDATION

The Foundation's primary concern is The Christmas Dinner project. The Christmas Dinner was founded by Lemn Sissay in 2013 with the intention that no care leaver would be left alone on Christmas Day.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

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
