THE LONDON MUSICAL THEATRE ORCHESTRA 

The charities objects are to advance, develop, improve and maintain public appreciation of the art of musical theatre for the public benefit through the presentation of a diverse programme of public concerts of musical theatre repertoire of artistic merit
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
