CAMBERWELL ARTS LIMITED

Camberwell Arts Ltd organises events to engage the local community with artistic activity in the Camberwell area of south-east London and seeks to promote the area's many creative endeavours. The Camberwell Arts Festival is an annual event that takes place every June.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
