PARAGON SINGERS

Paragon Singers is an auditioned "a cappella" choral group based in Bath. We explore and bring to the public a wide range of music from Renaissance to modern, including music that we have commissioned, and typically perform 3 to 4 concerts a year as well as performing in a European city. We run a bursary scheme for music students to join us for a year and participate in the life of the group.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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

Financial issues to consider:

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