ART HISTORY LINK-UP

Art History Link-Up offers free Art History courses to state school students, taught in galleries and online on term-time Saturdays. Art History A level is taught in less than 8 state schools.

Our students are transforming the sector and securing a vibrant and secure future for the arts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
