CAMBRIDGE LITERARY FESTIVAL

The objects of the Company are the advancement of education for the benefit of the public by the promotion of literature, language and the arts in particular through a literary festival in Cambridge, and such other activities as the members of the Management Committee shall from time to time determine.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
