The role of this working party is to assist the treasurer with their financial duties, day to day accounting; assisting the fundraising working party; looking to find new approaches to how the theatre makes money; reporting the theatre’s finances in an accessible format; and drafting budgets.
Working Parties
The role of the working parties is researching, sourcing materials, planning, drafting policies and procedures, and more, to present to the board of trustees for consideration, discussion and approval.
Effectively, working parties will do the legwork for the board, however the trustees have final approval.
The board will oversee the working parties, discuss their findings and make decisions based off of these discussions - fully supporting these groups as required. If ever in doubt they should defer to the board for guidance.
This is an opportunity for people to get more involved with the day-to-day running of the theatre, be key in the theatre's growth, support and challenge the way we do things and collaboratively ensure we're doing the best possible job in the most efficient way.
Our initial suggestion is to start with the following groups, however there is certainly opportunity for this to grow.
Read more about them below, and if you're interested - fill in the form and we'll be in touch.
