AMBERSIDE TRUST

To secure the future of the Amber film & photography Collection by: maintaining its integrity and addressing conservation needs; supporting Side Gallery & Cinema, where the work can be seen; extending access through touring and online work; building awareness of its story; and enabling the new work (acquisition,production & educational activity) which will take this living archive forward
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of 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
