WIMBLEDON ARTS

Developing the cultural landscape of Merton and Wandsworth by organising an annual book festival called "Wimbledon Bookfest" to promote the active enjoyment of books, and other cultural activities; and developing an educational outeach programme across Merton.

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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
