KINETIKA BLOCO

The Kinetika Bloco is a performance group of young musicians, drummers, and dancers all in costume creating a unique new British Carnival sound with a decidedly London edge. Our mission is to engage young people from South London in long term creative activity advancing their education, skills, capacity and enabling them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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