THE SUFFOLK ORGANISTS ASSOCIATION 

The association provides great value to its members through events and promoting study, as well as by supporting tuition, competition, courses and an increase in organ repertoire. Thanks to bequests and the generosity of benefactors, financial support is available to encourage interest in the Association and its activities, and to support those who may have difficulty in raising funds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
