E17 PUPPET PROJECT 

E17 Puppet Project weaves intergenerational connections accross residents and communities through the delivery of innovative participatory arts programmes (puppetry, theatre and story telling) in North East London's neighbourhoods. We are committed to building resilient communities and have an excellent track record in bringing diverse groups together to enjoy the arts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 11 years
