FRANKS FAMILY FOUNDATION

TO FURTHER SUCH CHARITABLE PURPOSES AS RELIEF OF POVERTY, SICKNESS AND DISTRESS, ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE WORLD.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
