STANLEY ARTS

Stanley Arts aims to be one of South London's premiere arts and performance venues, providing our local community with a vital home for cultural expression and discovery. As a radically inclusive space we seek to foreground under-represented voices, providing artists of colour and LGBTQIA creatives with a platform to reach out to audiences across South London and beyond.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity raises funds from the public but is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end

Established: 10 years
