HELPFILM

We produce high-end videos and animations and provide productions and editing services on beneficial terms for small to medium sized charities across a broad range of valuable causes. We use creative and compelling storytelling - as a well told story will move an audience to think, reflect and then act - to enable those charities to further their purposes and achieve their goals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
