ALEXANDER WHITLEY DANCE COMPANY

AWDC forges new choreographic territory, collaborates with leaders in design and technology and creates dance works that challenge and engage existing and new audiences. A desire to further knowledge and understanding of dance within the field as well as to the broader public is also a driving force behind the company's work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
