THE GREAT NORTH WOOD COLLECTIVE 

We believe in the power of arts and culture to bring communities together, to create a world we all want to live in and to help people live happier lives. We deliver events and projects to reach and engage with those in our community who are often left behind and that bring all in our community together in a spirit of inclusiveness and creativity.
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 since inception
  • 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
