SANDY HILL STUDIOS TRUST CIO

Sandy Hill Arts encourages the public to enjoy the creative arts in Purbeck, especially visual arts and crafts. We will promote participation in the arts through exhibitions of new work, events, performance and education, as well as working with community groups and schools. We want the natural setting of the site to be a new visitor attraction in Purbeck.
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 recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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