BARNSLEY BRASS 

Barnsley Brass is a traditional British brass band with a mining heritage based in Worsbrough Bridge near Barnsley. We operate predominantly in the Yorkshire area.We hold rehearsals twice a week, perform concerts and participate in competitions. All performances offer the general public the chance to advance their education in, and appreciation of, the art of music.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
