KINGSTON PHILHARMONIA 

Kingston Philharmonia is an amateur orchestra which normally performs three concerts a year, including a wide variety of music. It brings classical music into the heart of the community; gives local musicians the opportunity to rehearse and perform a broad classical repertoire; and provides an accessible and affordable alternative to the big London concert venues for local people.
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 gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
