DRAMATIZE CHARITY

Dramatize is a professional charity, providing a range of theatrical workshops for adults with learning disabilities. Our aim is to make Theatre accessible for all and to change perceptions of artists with disabilities. This will be achieved by educating and furthering the personal development of our service users and ensuring they have experiences within the Arts sector.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 21 years
