LIGHTHOUSE ARTS AND TRAINING LTD

Lighthouse's object and principal activity is to promote art and media culture through training, education, commissions and networking. We provide creative development opportunities for aspiring and practising media artists, animators and filmmakers, whilst also offering innovative participatory opportunities for the wider community to develop their appreciation and enjoyment of media arts.

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 well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
