APPLECARTLIVE LTD

(A) To advance the education, public understanding and appreciation of the dramatic arts by providing and presenting for the public benefit high quality performances of storytelling, theatre, film, music, poetry and other performances which are of educational, cultural and spiritual value to the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 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
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Income was lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
