FLUID MOTION THEATRE COMPANY 

We make theatre about lived experiences of mental health. And we do this anywhere and for everyone. Fluid Motion does this through a creative engagement and touring programme, built around one overarching theme connected to mental health. We commission, make and perform theatre and use lived experience as inspiration.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
