Red Ladder Theatre Company is a charitable company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, incorporated on 17 May 1976 and registered as a charity on 17 May 1994 number 1037653.

It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which were amended by special resolution dated 20 January 1994. Further non-constitutional parameters for the company are found in its endorsed policies.

For more details on the company’s governing document and the principal objectives of the company to provide public benefit, as well as to access past financial and trustees’ reports, visit the company’s public webpage on the Charity Commission’s website here.

Like many theatre companies, while the senior management team of the company is responsible for the day-to-day management, the board of trustees is responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the company.

Members of the board of trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the company’s governing documents. The trustees meet at least four times a year, on a voluntary basis, and are joined by representatives from our major funders: Arts Council England and Leeds City Council.

For more information on current board members, take a look at our Meet the Team pages.
