SHEFFIELD LYCEUM THEATRE TRUST LIMITED 

The Trust is the guardian of the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield. Since its refurbishment in 1990 the Lyceum has played a significant role among the most prestigious touring theatres in the major English cities. Welcoming a broad range of professional touring drama, dance, music theatre and opera companies, the Lyceum is also the home each year to several local operatic societies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
