STRATFORD LITERARY FESTIVAL

Advancing education by promoting and providing opportunities for the appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of literature and the arts, in particular through promoting and running a literary festival and educational outreach activities primarily in Stratford-upon-Avon. Providing relief to those at a social disadvantage because of age or ill health through literary related activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
