ABO TRUST

Procuring, sponsoring or assisting the performance of musical works of the highest quality in the UK by orchestras that are members of the Association of British Orchestras; encouraging improvements in standards of performance by British orchestras; promoting the development of musical appreciation by the general public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
