ARTS FOR DEMENTIA

Arts 4 Dementia exists to a) advance public understanding of dementia; andb) to relieve those living with dementia, including those who support or care for them, in particular through access to the arts and provision of therapeutic intervention related to the arts. It focuses particularly on the benefit of arts activities for people living in the community.
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
