GOLDSMITHS CHORAL UNION

Goldsmiths Choral Union (GCU) seeks to promote the study, practice and performance of choral works including contemporary and little known works. It seeks to foster and broaden the knowlege and appreciation of such music and a varied programme of music is undertaken to enable as many people as possible to benefit through choir membership, choral workshops and concert attendance.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
