The promotion and advancement of the arts and in particular the arts of dance, design, lighting, stagecraft and similar and ancillary arts, together with the promotion and assistance in the advancement of public education in and knowledge of the arts of ballet, drama, music, the visual arts and the education and training of young people of moderate or limited means in these arts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
