LONDON GAY SYMPHONIC WINDS

The LGSW welcome everyone regardless of their sexuality. We are a wind and percussion ensemble run by our members. We provide public concerts that entertain the audience while also developing the skills and talents of our members with repertoire chosen by the membership.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
