CAP-A-PIE ENGAGEMENTS

Cap-a-Pie is a theatre company that inspires thinking and learning. Since 1997 we've specialised in bringing people together to take part in a democratic creative process.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
