VITAL XPOSURE LIMITED

Vital Xposure is a disability-led theatre company that educates about diversity through theatreproductions and training programmes that expose and challenge cultural and social prejudice.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
