THE BRIGHTON RAINBOW FUND 

Distributing grants to LGBT projects in Brighton and Hove
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
