TWO'S COMPANY (THEATRE) LIMITED 

Two's Company's principal aim is to re-discover and bring back to life plays of high quality which have been forgotten, and give these plays as wide an audience as possible. Education activities supporting the productions are also offered.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity 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
  • 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
