BATH OPERA

Bath Opera members live within travelling distance to the city of Bath and wish to sing in opera or help put on operatic productions. The amateur society puts on a fully staged production at the end of February and a smaller scale opera on a summer tour in June and July. Bath Opera also promotes the Bath Opera Isobel Buchanan Award (BOIBA) for a promising young opera singer. See www.bathopera.com

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
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
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 was lower than spending in the latest year
