LONDON CELLO SOCIETY 

Promoting concerts and other musical events
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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
