THE LEWISHAM CHORAL SOCIETY 

Promote public education in and appreciation of choral music through providing learning and singing opportunities for members and presenting at least four public concerts a year.
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
  • The Board is predominantly female

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
