THE BERKELEY ENSEMBLE 

The charity's activities to achieve its charitable objects include the organisation of concerts, which regularly include twentieth and twenty-first century British repertoire, and delivery of regular education workshops to inspire and educate students at primary and secondary schools across the United Kingdom.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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 but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
