LAUNCESTON TOWN BAND

Learning and playing brass instruments and percussion. Taking part in civic ceremonies, contests, carnivals and concerts, as well as informal outdoor events.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

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
