LIVERPOOL IRISH FESTIVAL

The principal activity of the Charity is to celebrate the links between Liverpool and Ireland via the development of a permanent, annual event to highlight the significance of Irish traditions, music, literature, theatre and art in defining Liverpool's culture and status as a great European city.
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
