SHAKESPEARE LINK

Shakespeare Link provides developmental workshops and performance at its home base, the flagship Willow Globe theatre, within the local community, and beyond.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
