FLO CHARITABLE TRUST 

Flo Charitable Trust has been set up to ensure the provision of an Indoor Skatepark facility for the Nottingham and wider Nottinghamshire area. In addition the wider culture around skateboard and BMX will be encouraged through Arts and Music provision. The charity will look to widen participation in these pastimes across all sections of society.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
