THEATRE FOR A CHANGE LIMITED

THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE HEALTH AND EDUCATION OF MARGINALISED COMMUNITIES IN THE UK AND ABROAD BY THE USE OF PERFORMING ARTS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
