WILTSHIRE CREATIVE

The objects of the Theatre, as set out in the Memorandum of Association are to promote, maintain, improve and advance education, particularly by the production of educational plays and the encouragement of the Arts, including the arts of drama, dance, singing and music

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
