NORTHERN BROADSIDES THEATRE COMPANY 

Promote, maintain, improve and advance education particularly by the encouragement of the art of drama with particular reference to presenting new and classic texts in a manner firmly rooted in the North of England.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 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
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
