CHARNWOOD ARTS

To foster and promote knowledge, improvement, understanding and appreciation of the arts and education in the arts amongthe people of Charnwood, the East Midlands Region and nationally and internationally as the trustees decide.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 13 years
