HOLMFIRTH ART & MUSIC LIMITED

To promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the Arts, by (a) producing an annual Festival (b) providing information about artistic activity in Holmfirth and the Holme Valley (c) providing support to local arts organisations in Holmfirth and the Holme Valley (d) acting as an informal conduit between Kirklees and Arts organisations in the Holme Valley

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

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