HAMMERSMITH AND FULHAM ARTS FESTIVAL

The object of the Hammersmith and Fulham Arts Festival (HF ArtsFest) is to advance the appreciation of and involvement in the arts in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for the public benefit, in particular, but not exclusively, through the provision of an arts festival. HF ArtsFest is an inclusive annual ArtsFest for the whole community including disabled and non-disabled artists.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
