ART CARE EDUCATION

Art Care Education "Making a difference by enhancing lives through art". In the gallery in Somerton, Somerset we showcase art and craft work from mainly local artists, in our gallery we host changing exhibitions, provide education / workshops for adults and children and provide an outreach programme aimed at improving wellbeing in care homes and community settings.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 8 years
