THE GUST

Advancement of the arts, culture, heritage and science for the public benefit principally in Gloucester by creating and holding artistic, cultural and scientific events, festivals, exhibitions, talks, forums, debates and such other activities as the trustees deem appropriate in furthering the charity's purposes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
