The charity was formed in 2015 for, ?The promotion of social inclusion for the public benefit among adults with learning disabilities who are socially excluded from society or parts of society as a result of their learning disability by providing them with projects and groups around theatre, drama and the arts to relieve the needs of those people and assist them to integrate into society.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
