THE FRIENDS OF LEIGHTON HOUSE

To support the funding of acquisitions of works of art and furniture for Leighton House Museum. To support ongoing restoration and refurbishment projects. To organise events in the houses in collaboration with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and other partners. To act as ambassadors for the Museum in local, academic and other communities of interest.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

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: 11 years
