LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA LIMITED

PROVISION OF ORCHESTRAL SERVICES AND MUSIC EDUCATION

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
