SALTO ARTS PRODUCTIONS

Salto Arts Productions is set up to carry out creative projects with communities primarily in the North East of England. Our focus is carnival, particularly Whitley Bay's annual event in May each year. We work with artists from throughout the region, the rest of the UK and abroad. We aim to make it meaningful, working with people to develop projects which celebrate them and their communities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
