HARMONIE CONCERT BAND, SOLIHULL 

We perform various concerts for the public. The two main concerts are the Winter/Festive concert in late November and the Spring Big Blow Out Concert late March. We also now have three regular events in the run up to Christmas: Lights to Remember with Marie Curie West Midlands, Carols at Morisson's in Sheldon and a Christmas Carol Service at St. Margaret's Olton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be 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
