DANCE UNITED YORKSHIRE CIO

Dance United Yorkshire advocates the use of dance as a powerful tool for personal and social development. We create bespoke dance projects and interventions to meet the needs of different groups of people who are struggling with difficult circumstances e.g. people accessing mental health services, women suffering domestic abuse and disengaged young people who may demonstrate challenging behaviours
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:

  • 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
