ATTIC THEATRE COMPANY (LONDON) 

Attic produces world class accessible theatre and develops audiences locally, regardless of social, physical or economic barriers. We aim to be at the forefront of exemplary new theatre practice. We also runs a year round community outreach and participation programme for the elderly and vulnerable and run drama workshops for disadvantaged young people, particularly refugees and asylum seekers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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