QUIET DOWN THERE 

Quiet Down There works with communities who do not access mainstream culture to articulate, celebrate and explore their creativity. We are based in Brighton & Hove but we work accross the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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