CHESTER OPERATIC SOCIETY

To advance the education of operatic culture in the community. To promote and improve the art of operatic works and musical theatre, particularly by the encouragement and development of young people and to stimulate public appreciation and cultivate further interests in operatic and dramatic art.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

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

Established: 23 years
