CHILTERN ARTS 

In accordance with the CIO's objectives, Chiltern Arts presents musical, literary and visual arts (mostly musical) events in venues across the Chilterns, most of which take place during the Chiltern Arts Festival in late winter/early Spring. The CIO also promotes the work of young professional artists, and encourages young people to become involved with music and the arts through its activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
