FLUTE THEATRE

TO ADVANCE THE ARTS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUDING SPECIAL PROVISION FOR THOSE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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