TEES VALLEY ARTS

Tees Valley Arts is a charity that uses the arts to create social change. We believe that arts & culture create societies and offer challenges to the status quo. Communities have a right to tell their stories which reflect their past and will shape their future. We will act as a catalyst for all communities to become cultural producers, galvanising creative action and championing positive change.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 40 years
(41 years as a company)
