RTYDS LIMITED 

The Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme is a professional artist development programme for new and emerging theatre directors in the UK. We seek out and nurture the most talented theatre directors at the early stage of their careers; developing their skills and experience by placing them in leading regional theatres and providing unique training and professional development opportunities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 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
Established: 9 years
