NEW WRITING SOUTH

ÔÇó We inform and develop new writing through a programme of educational workshops, events and seminars open to the general public. Our continuing education programme allows writers to share skills with schools and others in the community. We encourage new writing from untapped sources and who are socially excluded by being home bound or underprivileged.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
