MEADOW ARTS

The charities main objectives are the education of the public, by the promotion of contemporary and other art and in particular (but without limitation) art that is linked to the landscape in the West Midlands and surrounding areas. This is to be achieved by exhibiting contemporary and other art to foster understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of art amongst the public.

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
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 was lower than spending in the latest year
