THE ASHBURTON FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION 

We promote the arts in their widest form to the community of Ashburton & surrounds in a way that encourages people to participate & involve themselves in what we do, playing particular attention to the age range - hence films for the elderly, reminisces about folk lore and crafts that use to thrive when Ashburton was a town for wool and tin, workshops for families and young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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