MONSTER CAT THEATRE CIO

To advance in life and help young people, living in, but not exclusively The London Borough of Ealing, for the public benefit, through theatrical drama based activities that develop their skills, capacities and capabilities, to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
