SHERBORNE FESTIVAL CHORUS 

We are a non-auditioning choir of around 140 adults from Sherborne and the surrounding area. We give one major annual performance in Sherborne Abbey as part of Sherborne Abbey Festival and also hold open workshops during the year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
