PURBECK ARTS CHOIR

The Purbeck Arts Choir, based in Swanage, Dorset, currently numbers over 60 singers of all abilities; there are no auditions, and is led by our inspiring musical director David Fawcett. At least two public concerts are held annually plus other musical events with the Purbeck Art Weeks and the local community and school children.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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