PROGRESSIVE PLAYERS (GATESHEAD) LIMITED 

Amateur Drama Group, presenting 10 plays yearly in our own theatre. We also hire the theatre and costumes to local, schools, colleges and groups.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
