MASQUE THEATRE 

Masque produces five major indoor plays a year and an outdoor summer production of a Shakespeare play. We also provide performances in the community on behalf of other charitable or service organisations. The Masque Youth Theatre provides a weekly workshop for young people from 11-18 and produces one public performance a year. They also offer performances for other organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
