SPILL FESTIVAL LTD 

SPILL pursues excellence in making, commissioning, curating and delivering high quality, original, interdisciplinary works of art and live events by engaging in rigorous research and development activity, resulting in outcomes and distribution initiatives that are of value to the widest audiences possible.
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:

  • 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
