WIND-UP PENGUIN THEATRE COMPANY 

We bring music-theatre performances and workshops to children in the UK and overseas (who in particular but not exclusively have restricted access to the arts). In 2015, we performed over 40 shows to underprivileged children in Brazil, Peru, and Germany,
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
