STREETZ AHEAD PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL 

Streetz Ahead is a registered charity that provides dance, performing arts and mentoring opportunities to over 1000 young people every week. They believe that dance is essential to a healthy society. They are committed to serving the under-represented, to families who may not have the means to fund or access local provision and to those struggling with their mental health.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
