TANDEM THEATRE 

Tandem Theatre deliver participatory arts programmes for disadvantaged communities to enhance creativity and appreciation of the arts, facilitate participation with non formal education, improve emotional and mental health and wellbeing, and increase employability skills.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
