UCHELDRE CENTRE
The objects of the charity are to advance the education of the inhabitants of Holyhead and its surrounding area in all aspects of the performing and visual arts and the development of public appreciation of those arts by the provision of an arts centre and the presentation of public performances and exhibitions.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased to £25,670, though the trustees note this is below their historical average of £10,000 and they aspire to more robust reserves. Total net assets rose significantly to £4,102,507 due to capital grants for a new build project, while the charity remains dependent on core funding from Anglesey County Council and Arts Council Wales to cover operational costs.
