REGENT'S PARK THEATRE LIMITED

The principal activity of the charity is presenting summer seasons of plays and the provision of bar and catering facilities at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, together with producing plays elsewhere in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
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 age and gender and 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

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but spending has been increasing rapidly
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
