THE YOUNG VIC COMPANY

The objects of the Charity are to create high quality, innovative and imaginative theatre for a wide and, in particular, young audience. The creation and presentation of high quality performances in unique adaptable auditoria, with far-reaching education and access policies, is achieved through a combination of box office revenue, public subsidy and fundraising.
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:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
