THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY 

The society organises events throughout the year to promote greater knowledge of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan to members and the public in general. We provide an up to date Gilbert and Sullivan library at the Barbican in London and publish the Gilbert and Sullivan news three times a year. The society also makes occasional grants to similar organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
