FLEET ARTS

To advance education in the arts, by providing inclusive and creative well-being events in Derbyshire, and in particular for those socially excluded. " Socially excluded" means those excluded from parts of society due to one or more of the following factors namely financial hardship, poor education/attainment, unemployment, disability/health issues, ethnic origin, gender, or age.
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 and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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