IMOS FOUNDATION 

The IMOS Foundation has many projects: a mural painting trail, ongoing European themed exhibitions and events, a Romney Marsh Flag and a Great Tapestry of Romney Marsh. We are developing a Sculpture Park and Memorial Garden at Hope All Saints, Romney Marsh and would like to develop a Heritage Centre. We continue to host Artists and Writers in Residence.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
