CYFEILLION CANOLFAN GERDD WILLIAM MATHIAS

Supporting the work of the Canolfan Gerdd William Mathias and organising musical events for the benefit of members and residents of Gwynedd and Anglesey in particular.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be 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
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
