THE MANCHESTER CONCERT HALL LIMITED

The company was established to promote, maintain, improve, develop and advance public education by the encouragement of the Arts, including opera, drama singing, mime, dancing, painting and sculpture, cinema, literature and other arts and in particular to provide and operate a Concert Hall in the City of Manchester.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
