CONTAINS ART CIO

Development and delivery of artistic, cultural and educational activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
