DEAFINITELY THEATRE 

Deafinitely Theatre's legal aim is to "advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama".
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 including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age 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
Established: 19 years
