DITCHLING MUSEUM OF ART + CRAFT

The objectives of Ditchling Museum are to actively collect, conserve, record, research and make publicly available original material essential to understanding the story and historical context of the artists and craftworkers who lived and worked in the area since 1900. These are to be achieved through the acquisition, organisation, preservation and interpretation of relevant and related objects.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 15 years
