DURHAM DRAMATIC SOCIETY LIMITED 

The City Theatre has been improved by alterations to its entrance and bar and to its heating, making it more attractive to potential audiences. The Society performed five three-act plays which played to 88%, 93%. 60%, 68% and 75% of capacity. The theatre has been hired on occasions by professional and amateur companies. The Society has been represented at drama festivals at Saltburn and Buxton
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
miles
