DEVON ARTS IN SCHOOLS INITIATIVE

For the general benefit of the public and in particular the advancement and enrichment of education through the arts and the improvement of lifelong educational opportunities particularly but not exclusively for young people for experiencing and participating in arts of high quality, and to formulate, prepare and establish schemes therefor.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
