DANCE HASTINGS CIO

We are a charity based in Hastings, working to enable as many people as possible to engage in fun social dance activities. we are developing 4 strands: Wheelchair accessible dance for adults with learning difficulties, dance in care homes, free accessible family-friendly dance events, dance for those whose mental health makes it difficult to access local dance classes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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