EMERGENCY EXIT ARTS

Emergency Exit Arts, based in Greenwich, is one of the UKs leading outdoor arts companies. We have nearly 40 years experience of bringing communities together through spectacular celebrations, day and night time carnivals, touring outdoor performances, public art and pyrotechnics.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end

Established: 33 years
