IPSWICH COMMUNITY MEDIA AND LEARNING

We provide free sessions in music, media, creative arts, and language learning to hundreds of local people every week. Our mission is to challenge inequality by empowering people to transform their lives through learning and creativity. We are based in Westgate Ward in Ipswich, one of the most deprived and ethnically diverse wards in Suffolk.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • 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 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
