Dundee Youth Music Theatre (DYMT) is a Dundee-based charity that delivers a wide range of classes to children and young people on different aspects of musical theatre, all at low or no cost. Founded in 2021 and becoming a charity in 2022, DYMT offers weekly workshops and classes, full scale musical theatre productions, international twinning exchanges, showcase concert performances and targeted community projects. Being still in the earlier stages of running the charity, the board of trustees wanted to build a strong financial base for the organisation, and they wanted to get a deeper and more practical understanding of their responsibilities as trustees.
In 2024, DYMT accessed consultancy support with The Circle through the Just Enterprise programme. The Circle worked with the charity to help them identify new income streams, supported them to work on a business plan and cash flow, and to provide governance training to their board of trustees.
“I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks and appreciation to The Circle for the invaluable support they have provided to our charity.
Both Ruth and Jenny have been consistently positive, supportive and non-judgmental, creating a welcome and encouraging environment. Their help and dedication has made a real difference to our organisation and we cannot applaud them enough for the incredible work they do.”
