BRIGHTON AND HOVE ARTS COUNCIL 

We are an umbrella organisation for the Not-For-Profit Arts in and around Brighton and Hove. We publish a quarterly arts diary, which includes events listings and profiles of member organisations. The leaflets are distributed free to the public, mainly through libraries. We also promote member groups through drama competitions and visual arts exhibitions.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
