MULTISTORY

Multistory commissions acclaimed photographers, film-makers and writers to work with local people to tell their stories of everyday life to create art that people want to be part of, see and talk about. We produce photographic work, films, exhibitions, publications, digital stories and archives that speak to Sandwell and to the whole country and beyond.

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 gender 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

Financial issues to consider:

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