BELPER SINGERS

Belper Singers is a Chamber Choir of around 30 mixed voices performing a wide range of choral music from the 16th to 21st centuries. They perform about six concerts per year in a range of venues including churches, stately homes, pubs and community spaces, mostly in Belper and Derbyshire villages. They rehearse weekly in Belper during school term time.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Income has been volatile recently
