THE BARN THEATRE PROJECT

To promote, maintain, improve and enhance access to all aspects of professional and amateur performing art and the development of public appreciation of such art and to advance public education in relation to it

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
