NTC TOURING THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED

To make professional touring theatre of the highest quality accessible to those small communities who are theatrically disenfranchised through geographic, economic, social or transport constraints. Theatre which is made in Northumberland for a national audience, theatre which is accessible and relevant, is innovative and entertains with integrity and humour. Training provider for emergent talent.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Established: 44 years
