The Youth Arts and Health Trust provides arts therapies and arts opportunities for young people experiencing mental health difficulties, or those at risk of. Amongst our activities, we currently run an Arts Therapy service for Anxiety and Depression which is based in Exeter, Devon.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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