THE BUDLEIGH SALTERTON ARTS CENTRE AND MUSEUM

The establishment and maintenance of an arts centre and museum for the benefit of the inhabitants of the beneficial area and visitors thereto.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • 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 gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
