The Society organises a range of arts events, including plays, films, music (from classics to pop) and live screenings of drama, opera and ballet; the Society owns, manages and operates the 128-seat Market Theatre in Ledbury. The Society relies on ticket sales, membership subscriptions and hiring fees to cover costs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no 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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
