THE CHIPPING NORTON THEATRE LIMITED

Provision of live arts events, films and exhibitions at The Theatre together with a community and education programme in Chipping Norton and the region.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
