    The National Youth Arts Trust exists to do something about inequality in the performing arts industry and to ensure a career in the arts is accessible to all. Our bursaries and drama projects help talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds train in dance, music and drama.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

    Financial issues to consider:

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