DEEP ROOTS TALL TREES

Deep Roots Tall Trees (DRTT) is a Corby-based arts organisation that aims to extend the relevance of music, singing and the arts to the widest possible local and regional audience.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
