MID PENNINE ARTS

We were founded in 1966 and incorporated with this registration in 2012. We are a commissioning agency working in collaboration to create high quality art in response to the rich and diverse contexts of the dramatic and often beautiful post-industrial landscape of the Pennines, hand in hand with its resilient and resourceful community. See charity 250642 for details of our previous work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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