THE HIGHER EDUCATION IN ART AND DESIGN FOUNDATION

The HEAD Trust is a registered charity and is dedicated to the advancement of public education through the appreciation of art, craft and design. In 2014-15 a grant of ?5000 was given to the Sorrell Foundation to support the production of a video 'CreativeJourney' that provides art, design and media careers information for young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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
  • 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
