WESTMINSTER ARTS 

Westminster Arts is a community based charity established to promote social inclusion through the development and delivery of specialist arts programmes and activities. We work primarily with communities in the central London area, with a particular focus on supporting the needs of older people living with dementia and other mental health issues.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 31 years
