WHITEHAVEN AND DISTRICT AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY

Producing entertainment while ensuring that people learn theatre skills. Learning all aspects of live theatre while socialising and confidence building. Helping people to work in the community while learning new skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

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
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
