BORDER CROSSINGS COMPANY LIMITED

Border Crossings works in intercultural performance, education, community projects and publishing. The charity produces theatre in collaboration with overseas partners, and with diverse UK communities. It produces festivals showcasing diverse, minority cultures. Each artistic project is accompanied by youth and education work, particularly with minority groups and disadvantaged young people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently
