CAMBRIDGE FILM TRUST

The Cambridge Film Trust fosters film culture and education in Cambridge and the Eastern region but also throughout the UK. We deliver a portfolio of screenings, special events and tailor-made projects enabling people to be moved by, learn about and interact with film. The highlight of our programme is the Cambridge Film Festival, one of the most innovative events of its kind in the country.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
