BASELESS FABRIC THEATRE

We create site-specific and promenade theatre & opera to inspire audiences to see the art forms and the world around them in new ways. We partner with local schools to offer complimentary workshops to teach young people about theatre and opera; with community organisations to run sessions with elderly groups, and provide opportunities for local people to be involved as volunteers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
