LONDON STRING QUARTET FOUNDATION

Wigmore Hall has fully adopted LSQF's aims of promoting the discovery and development of talent and audiences for the string quartet.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • This charity appears to be dormant
