CHESHIRE DANCE WORKSHOP LIMITED

Cheshire Dance is the development agency for dance in the County and beyond. It supports artists, educators and communities of interest by encouraging, fostering and resourcing their activities and by creating links between them. Cheshire Dance is committed to increasing access to, and through the arts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 31 years
