COTSWOLD PLAYERS

We are an amateur dramatic society with our own theatre. We welcome members to participate in all aspects of productions - on stage, back stage and front of house. We stage our own performances and in addition hire the theatre out for use by other groups, professional and amateur. A dance studio is also available for hire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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