THE KENDAL WINDOWS ON ART TRUST 

Promote, maintain,improve and advance the education of the public in the appreciation of the visual arts, in particular but without the generality of the foregoing by provision of lectures, workshops and exhibitions.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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 recently
