    SEED SEDGEMOOR

    We aim to enable more people in our region to actively engage in the creative arts, particularly those who don't usually do so. We seek to remove barriers to participation, offer opportunities for people to engage with the arts, and for the arts to become a part of their everyday life. We believe everyone is creative and can benefit from opportunities to explore and develop their creativity.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
