a) To offer a creative opportunity to those living with life-limiting illness (participants) that enables them to tell their stories in whatever form is appropriate to their needs b) To advance participant rehabilitation by offering creative initiatives that restore confidence & self-esteem.c) To present performances & screenings that bring the stories of participants to the wider community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board 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
