NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GALLERY EDUCATION

engage aims to promote greater access to and understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts through gallery education, by engaging with the public, artists, galleries and educators.

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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
