MANCHESTER COLLECTIVE

Promoting the arts, particularly music, through the presentation of public recitals and concerts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
