THE FOURTH CHOIR

The Fourth Choir is an LGBT-friendly choir that aims to educate the public in the art of choral music by performing and recording a wide range of choral music with specific reference to the promotion of equality and diversity, with particular relevance to the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender (?LGBT?) community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 10 years
