THE GROUNDLINGS THEATRE TRUST

The delivery of arts events and performances; the education of performing arts and associated skills and providing opportunities for our local community to upskill participants, battle social isolation and provide valuable experience to those often forgotten. This takes place within the city of Portsmouth but events and performances may take place across the UK.

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 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
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 4 years
