THE PAPER BIRDS THEATRE COMPANY 

We promote theatrical performances and inclusive participatory experiences, such as drama workshops and training, to help improve people's well-being, confidence and skills and to advance the arts for the public benefit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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