KAYD SOMALI ARTS AND CULTURE 

Kayd seeks to promote arts, culture and heritage, particularly (but not exclusively) Somali arts, heritage and culture, for the benefit of the public, including (without limitation) musical, literary, dramatic, performance, dance and visual arts particularly, but not exclusively, by organising and delivering arts and cultural events and festivals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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