FREEDOM ROAD CREATIVE ARTS

Working with Young people in care, at risk and in need using the performing arts as a tool to enhance confidence, aspiration and social skills

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
