THE MARCHES COMMUNITY CHOIR 

Advancement of public appreciation and knowledge of music by active participation in public choral performances and related activities in the Marches areas of Shropshire. Support of other charities using funds generated by the main activity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
