COMMONWEALTH YOUTH ORCHESTRA AND CHOIR

USING MUSIC AS A MEANS OF INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE, KNOWING NO BOUNDARIES

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
