GREEN CANDLE DANCE COMPANY LIMITED

The principal object of the Company continues to be to bring dance as performance and as practice to all sections of the community, particularly to those with least access to it; to promote, maintain and advance education and to actively promote the social inclusion of people commonly excluded from full social inclusion by involving people in dance and the encouragement of the art of dance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
