TOPOLSKI MEMOIR LIMITED

Preserving and promoting Feliks Topolski's legacy and continuing the spirit of his two major projects, the Memoir and the Chronicle. Based out of Topolski's original studio, we host an archive, curate exhibitions, and lead educational programmes and workshops with Topolski's principles of artistic reportage, public artwork, tolerance and curiosity at heart. We aim to provide an artist residency.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
