ADEC (ARTS DEVELOPMENT IN EAST CAMBRIDGESHIRE)

ADeC provides arts development services in East Anglia, primarily East Cambridgeshire and Cambridgeshire. Services include support for community groups, direct promotion of arts events, and arts based project activity, in particular with young people and rural communities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 gender

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
