ILMINSTER ENTERTAINMENTS SOCIETY LIMITED 

The presentation of dramatic and musical art for the education of the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers, including a Community Foundation, recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • 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: 39 years
