THE ELLA ROBERTA FAMILY FOUNDATION

The Ella Roberta Family Foundation (ERFF) campaigns for clean air in the UK and abroad by promoting research & raising awareness of the health impacts of air pollution e.g. asthma. ERFF is campaigning for Clean Air as a Human Right to become a UK law. We hold our own events & speak at UK/ international events to push for change and to highlight clean air social injustice issues.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Over half the Board have joined 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
