ICANDANCE

THE CHARITY'S OBJECTIVE IS TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN THE ARTS, IN PARTICULAR DANCE AND THE CREATIVE ARTS. ICANDANCE BELIEVES THAT EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF DISABILITY, THROUGH DANCE, CAN ACCESS THEIR OWN CREATIVITY AND PROVIDESDANCE AND PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES TO THOSE WITH DISABILITIES WITHIN LONDON.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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