Presenting a programme of plays and other activities in the Rose Theatre, Kingston and beyond, which advance the education of the public in all aspects of dramatic art.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
