WITHAM CHORAL SOCIETY 

Witham Choral Society offers, without audition, the opportunity for anyone to learn about, improve and enjoy choral singing. To this end it rehearses weekly and gives 3 concerts with professional orchestra and soloists each year enabling people in the Witham area to learn about and appreciate the classical choral repertoire. The society supports local charities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
