DISABILITY ARTS IN SHROPSHIRE 

DASH is a practical Disability Arts development organisation, which works across the locally, regionally, nationally and internationally with disabled and deaf people and working in partnership with arts and cultural organisations to develop disability arts practice.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers 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: 22 years
