BERNIE GRANT CENTRE PARTNERSHIP

The education of the public in the arts in particular by the provision of an arts centre, facilities for training in the arts and the development of creative talent.

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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
There was a deficit on unrestricted reserves of £100,223 at the last year end after deducting the value of own use assets
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 20 years
