WOKING CHORAL SOCIETY 

We meet each week to learn music and put on 3 concerts each year which we promote to the wider public. Our aims are to promote singing and choral music within the community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
