BACKLIT

The objects of the charity are to advance education in the fields of visual, creative and applied arts by the establishment and maintenance of an art gallery and in particular the provision of studies and galleries where art may be practiced, created and exhibited and public exhibitions of art for the benefit of the public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 age and 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
