WOMEN AND THEATRE (BIRMINGHAM) LIMITED

Women & Theatre use theatre and interactive drama, to promote the wellbeing of the whole community, to deepen understanding and affect change. The majority of its work is delivered in partnership with diverse organisations within arts, education, health and social care sectors.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
