LEVENS CHOIR

Local Cumbrian choir doing local concerts and also concerts on regular tours (currently alternate years) to other regions of the country. The Choir includes young members (typically around school-leaving age) who are supported by our choral scholarship scheme.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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
  • The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

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