FRIENDS OF FINCHLEY WAY OPEN SPACE

Maintains an area of open space.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
