AFAN ARTS

The objects of the CIO are to help young people, especially but not exclusively through arts and creative activities, so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly 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
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
