TYNESIDE CINEMA

Advancement of education, understanding and appreciation of the arts, including audio visual arts, primarily but not exclusively for the benefit of the public in the North East of England, through creation and presentation of moving image works, literature, music and live public events, educational and training projects and by any other charitable means.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
