FRIENDS OF BAROQUE MUSIC IN YORKSHIRE 

Funding and supporting baroque music in the Yorkshire region; especially funding and supporting Leeds Baroque Choir and Orchestra.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
