ASTOR COMMUNITY ARTS TRUST LTD

Provides support to the Astor Community Theatre by raising funds to create and enhance the available opportunities for arts and music activities, education workshops, apprenticeship schemes, capital expenditure project and events to local communities of East Kent.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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
