STRETFORD CHILDREN'S THEATRE

ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE DRAMA AND SINGING GROUPS FOR LOCAL CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 4 AND ABOVE. ~ INCLUSIVE ~ FUN ~ CREATIVE ~

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
