NEW DEAL OF THE MIND 

TO WORK WITH ARTS ORGANISATIONS TO FUND JOBS FOR YOUNG UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE IN THE ARTS SECTOR.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 14 years
