THE COURTYARD ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE

The principal activity of the charitable company as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association is the provision, in the interests of social welfare, of the facilities for the study and appreciation of the arts for the inhabitants of Hertford and the surrounding area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

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
