THE BARDI ORCHESTRA 

The charity's principal aims are to advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of music in all its aspects by any means the directors see fit, including through the presentation of public concerts and recitals and to further such charitable purpose or purposes as the directors in their absolute discretion shall think fit.
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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
  • Spending is declining
