URBAN EYE 

Urban Eye transforms run-down parts of the inner city around London through regeneration, imaginative design solutions, creative architectural lighting and community art. A true investment in the area. The Charity works in close partnership with key stakeholders and encourages participation with community groups and schools to help generate respect for the local environment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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
Established: 22 years
