HOTHOUSE THEATRE

We work with people of all ages and abilities and community project using theatre, drama, film, music and art to help develop confidence, aspiration and to address issues within the community. Currently we are working with; young people producing an online magazine, adults on fringe theatre projects, community groups to help develop the skills and confidence of volunteers

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
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
