NUMBER 8 

Number 8 Community Arts Centre is inspired and led by Pershore people. We provide film, drama, dance, live events, gallery and workshops for adults and children. Number 8 has been open for almost 8 years and is operated by a Board of 14 and managed by a executive team of 8, two of whom are senior employees, supported by approximately 200 volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
