FULL HOUSE THEATRE 

Full House works in 4 strategic areas;1. Quality Work (Making)2. Developing Audiences (Watching)3. Participation (Doing)4. Advocacy (Sharing)The 4 areas are often intrinsically linked but can also be delivered independently of each other. The interlocking strands of work are focused on making a difference to children's lives, playing our part to help children to become great grown ups.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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 gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
