THE ROMANI FOUNDATION

The Charity operates from my office/home. Myself, my assistant, my sister, daughter and secretary are all involved although myself and my assistant are the main persons involved.Hopefully as time goes on we may get other volunteers to assist.We will raise funds through fundraising, donations and events, I will also donate monies from my company and personally to get us started! I have done

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
