THE GATE THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED 

The charity's objectives are educational and its principal activity continues to be that of the production of theatrical art performances, introducing international drama to the British stage and public, and the upkeep and promotion of the theatre to that end.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
