THE CRAFTIMATION FACTORY

We provide creative activities to promote good mental health and well being for all, but particularly those who would otherwise have difficulty accessing these activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female
The Board composition appears to be very static

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
