LONDON GAY MENS CHORUS (LGMC) 

The LGMC entertains, educates and inspires through song, performing an extensive repertoire to the highest standard. We believe that a diverse society is a strong society. We work with schools, community groups and individuals to share our vision; that all people, regardless of sexuality, gender, religion or race, are equal and deserve to be treated as such.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
