ILLUMINATED RIVER FOUNDATION

The Foundation has the charitable object of promoting the arts by the creation and implementation of a lighting scheme of artistic merit for London's bridges. The Illuminated River project will transform the capital with a unified kinetic artwork across up to 15 of Central London's bridges.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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

Established: 8 years
