THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE BENEVOLENT FUND

We assist past or present employees of the Royal Opera House, Birmingham Royal Ballet or their dependents who are in financial or other need. We can also provide support to other individuals employed by a company that gives performances of opera, ballet or music or any similar organisation to help relieve poverty or advance the education or health of people employed in the production of the above.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 significantly lower than spending in the latest year but the charity has substantial reserves available
