The study and practice of Choral Music in order to foster public knowledge and appreciation of such music by means of public performance.Our aim is to support local organisations and charities to which we will donate an agreed percentage of our performance income.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?

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
