THE M.A.T.A. REGAL THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED

AMATEUR THEATRE ARTS/CULTURE

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
