CRAFTSPACE

Craftspace is a Crafts Development Agency which aims to push boundaries and perceptions around crafts practice, presentation and learning. We do this through a programme of touring exhibitions, research and participatory projects in community and educational settings.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 33 years
