CREATIVE RESPONSE (ARTS) LIMITED

We provide art sessions for vulnerable people experiencing mental ill-health and/or learning and/or physical disabilities. As well as respite from day-to-day pressures, through the provision of creative activities, Creative Response also offers participants social and community connection, helping to tackle loneliness and social isolation.

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:
