STEP TOGETHER DANCE PROJECT

We work primarily with older people in Islington to improve social interaction, confidence, self-esteem, physical health and mental agility by providing Ballroom, Latin and other dance sessions in which people dance with a partner.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Why is the Board composition very static?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
