THE WESLEY PLAYHOUSE LTD

To promote facilities for youth, the aged or disabled, those in financial hardship or social or economic circumstance and for the public at large; to improve the condition of life enabling all to reach their potential. By growth in their physical, mental and spiritual growth.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

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