THE THEATRE SHED LIMITED

The Theatre Shed's purpose is to advance the education of children, young people and adults in the performing arts and horticulture by providing services that are accessible for those with and without social, communication, mobility, learning, emotional and other support needs. Through inter-ability workshops and projects, we facilitate integration and representation in the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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