BROCKHAM CHORAL SOCIETY 

The choir's activities of rehearsals and performances are focused on Dorking. Covid restrictions in 2020 forced the suspension of meeting together, but activities resumed in September 2021 with an excellent performance of Handel's Messiah in December 2021.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
