GEORGIAN THEATRE (RICHMOND) TRUST LTD

The management of the Georgian Theatre and Georgian Theatre Experience, Richmond, North Yorkshire
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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