THE SOCIETY OF FLORISTRY TRAINING FUND (FOUNDED BY DORIS WARE)

Funds are raised by selling educational literature produced by the Society or in conjunction with other like minded organisations. The funds are used to offer opportunities for florists to attend workshops or to apply for bursaries in the continuation of their floristry training.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely female
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
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
