MANCHESTER CRAFT & DESIGN

Manchester Craft and Design's activities focus on programmes and audience development events to promote public understanding and participation in contemporary craft and design. These include our exhibitions, public workshops, talent development programme, community events, and educational visits and talks.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 7 years
(33 years as a company)
