GAHU DRAMATIC ARTS

The provision of facilities, cultural, sporting and other leisure time activities for children and young people through music dance and appreciation of African Culture.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
