Charity Commission opens case into Norwich Puppet Theatre
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 07:02 · Archive
The Charity Commission has opened a regulatory compliance case into Norwich Puppet Theatre after receiving a serious incident report.
The Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities across England and Wales, has opened a regulatory compliance case into Norwich Puppet Theatre Trust Limited after receiving a 'serious incident report' earlier this year. A Charity Commission spokeswoman said the watchdog would engage with the charity's trustees to gather more information, which would inform next steps.
The commission stressed that opening a case is not a finding of wrongdoing and no conclusions have been reached. It explained that most concerns it receives are dealt with through compliance cases. When asked about the nature of the incident, however, the commission refused to provide further details.
A spokesman for Norwich Puppet Theatre also declined to give specifics, describing the incident as 'internal'. The theatre's board reported it to the commission as a matter of due diligence. The theatre, which opened in 1980, previously faced financial difficulties, coming close to closure in 2008 when it risked losing a £60,000 annual grant from Arts Council England.
