To advance, for the public benefit, the arts, culture and heritage (of Saltaire and its surrounding area), in particular but not exclusively, by promoting and co-ordinating an annual planned programme of arts events within the locality of Saltaire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
