WASSAIL THEATRE COMPANY LTD

Wassail Theatre Company delivers its charitable aims through several core areas of work:- creating original professional productions, touring them across Somerset and to other parts of the UK- working with targeted communities to undertake research & development for our productions- running professional development and training workshops in creating or touring theatre

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 7 years
(10 years as a company)
