CLASSICAL SHEFFIELD

Classical Sheffield is a local charity committed to championing music makers and music making across the city of Sheffield. In doing so the charity connects over 60 organisations across the city's amateur, professional, and educational classical music provision. As part of this work Classical Sheffield promotes a major bi-annual festival the Classical Weekend.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
