WYCOMBE SINFONIA 

Provision of orchestral rehearsal and performance facilities for local musicians and formal concerts for the benefit of the public. In particular, our activities aim to encourage music listening and performance among young musicians (such as playing concerto works with the orchestra, or by offering very low admission prices to young audiences).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 13 years
