NEW SURREY PERFORMING ARTS LIBRARY

NewSPAL was established to take over from Surrey County Council its collection of hire, loan and reference materials relating to the performing arts and to establish a new independent specialist library and lending service in the charity sector based in Surrey. The new service started operations in August 2022 from premises located within Ewell Library (Bourne Hall, Epsom, Surrey).

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 a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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 was lower than spending in the latest year
