MOTUS 

MOTUS is an organisation which aims to engage the people of the city of Milton Keynes in all forms of dance either as part of an audience or by taking part in our workshops and performances. The aim is to celebrate and promote dance and artistic expression and to encourage this art form to be embraced by the masses.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
