ARGOSY PLAYERS 

Amateur Dramatics- straight plays, musicals and pantomimes, staged variously at the Compass Theatre, Ickenham, and the Winston Churchill Hall, Ruislip. The pantomime always has one performance that is free to local deserving groups. Club members also act as unpaid volunteers to run the facilities at the Compass Theatre. The Club is a member of the Hillingdon Arts Association & NODA.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
