    THE HARWICH FESTIVAL 

    Promote the Arts in Harwich and surrounding area by establishing The Harwich Festival as a regional Arts Hub that provides a diverse range of cultural activities, addressing the needs of all sectors of the community;
    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 including the Government

    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 significantly lower than spending in the latest year
