1599 Productions Association is a non-profit voluntary association (not a production company). Members are unpaid for work done and all net profit will go to local charities (The Friends of Salford Museums Association, youth and community groups in Salford and The Manchester Victoria Baths Trust). The project has been entirely run on goodwill (from over 100 members/contributors, including the performers, the production team and all of our excellent locations).
For details of governing policies, see Statement of Policies and Activities, 14th May 2009 (PDF)
