THE CROSSRAIL ART FOUNDATION

The Charity will fund the commissioning, creation, installation and maintenance of works of art at the central Crossrail stations. The aim of this project is to work closely with Crossrail Limited to link the new Crossrail stations to their local area, and to create inspirational spaces, contributing to the cultural vibrancy of the community served by Crossrail.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
