SHAKESPEARE NORTH PLAYHOUSE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 

Helping to raise the required capital funding to build the Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot, Merseyside.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
