FUTURES THEATRE COMPANY 

Futures Theatre offers marginalised women and non-binary people a space to thrive. We collaborate with participants and artists whose voices have been ignored to produce theatre, podcasts and creative engagement programmes. We are vocal about the issues that women and non-binary people face and create opportunities for artists and participants to drive debate and promote awareness.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 28 years
