AYLESBURY OPERA

We perform staged opera productions and concerts to a high standard. We aim to widen access to opera across the community and to promote it as a valuable and relevant performance art. We encourage and promote community participation in our activities, through professionally delivered rehearsals and dedicated youth classes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
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
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
