DEVIZES MUSICAL THEATRE

TEACHING ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALL ASPECTS OF THE PERFORMING ARTS AND FACILITATING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SAME TO THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, OTHER ORGANISATIONS AND CHARITIES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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