THE OTHER ROOM

The Other Room is a small space for big ideas. Presenting up-close work with a global perspective, it is a place where new Welsh plays go toe-to-toe with the classics of modern drama that celebrates Wales as a bi-lingual nation and where young artists have the freedom to take big risks. From our home in the heart of Cardiff we make ambitious world-class theatre with international reach.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 gender

Financial issues to consider:

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