THE HERON THEATRE

The object of the Heron Theatre is to present to the public dramatic and kindred arts by means of the production of dramatic, musical and dance performances, films, lectures, and slide shows; and the promotion of other cultural activities in its own theatre and elsewhere. The Heron Theatre is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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