SLIDE DANCE LIMITED 

SLiDE creates engaging and exciting opportunities for people to encounter dance. Our work seeks to include all areas of society and to expand understanding of what dance is and can be. We run dance classes and projects mainly in south London boroughs such as Croydon, Bromley and Sutton. We work in partnership with the Brit school, St Giles SEN School and Club Soda.
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 including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • 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
