UNLEASHED THEATRE COMPANY

Unleashed aims to empower, nourish and challenge people to change their lives for the better. We enable engagement with the arts and heritage for everyone, whilst focussing on the most underrepresented in society, allowing people to find themselves through creativity in a safe and welcoming space. Arts and heritage are used as tools to encourage people to reach their full potential.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
