CIRCUS ERUPTION

The UK's 1st Integrated Youth Circus. We provide a fun and supportive environment for children and young people of all abilities to practice new skills and have a say in what happens.

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
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Established: 27 years
