LANGUAGE OF DANCE TRUST

Its principal object is to advance and promote the education of the general public in the art and science of dance, particularly by the study, analysis and recording of human movement and to formulate and establish schemes therefore.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely 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
