CHAPEL ALLERTON FESTIVAL

The week long Chapel Allerton (arts) Festival takes place annually in early September. Local performers, artists and community groups take part. Some events take place in the week and the event culminates in a weekend street festival. It is planned and run entirely by volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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 gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
