LUTON CARNIVAL ARTS DEVELOPMENT TRUST

Working locally, nationally and internationally we advocate for, develop and connect carnival artists at every stage of their development across all carnival art forms. We commission and deliver carnival arts of the highest standards of excellence enabling the UK public to experience the spectacle and magic of Carnival 365 days a year via our programming, digital channels and partner networks.

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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
