TAAG CIO

We are an organisation which provides public access to art, artists, workshops, exhibitions and festivals in order to educate and engage the public, of all ages, in the arts and artistic practices in a wide range of art-forms. This takes place at 4/5 Northumberland Place, Teignmouth where TAAG provides gallery and studio spaces and, from time to time, at various other venues in the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

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
