GREENWICH DANCE AGENCY 

Established in 1993, Greenwich Dance is a public facing dance hub which uses its environment to drive innovation and experimentation between home grown and international artists and local communities. It prides itself on an autonomous credibility within the dance sector, its artist centred approach and finding new ways for dance to thrive and be shared.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees

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 recently but spending has been maintained
