THE BLACK-E

The activities of the Charity are the promotion of the Arts and Education through a cultural programme at the Charity's premises and elsewhere, which combines the activities of contemporary arts centre and community centre.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
