BLOOMSBURY FESTIVAL

The Bloomsbury Festival delivers an annual cultural Festival in central London in conjunction with local partners.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender 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
