THE BRITISH DOUBLE REED SOCIETY

Fosters the arts and science of double reed musical instruments - most particularly the oboe and the bassoon. It assists in running workshops/courses and holds an annual event with international artists. It provides a thrice-yearly magazine for members and offers discounts with some traders in the field.

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 and dynamic in terms of composition

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 has been volatile recently
