SHEFFIELD ORATORIO CHORUS

We perform up to four major choral concerts a year, in Sheffield Cathedral and other venues. Member of Making Music. Currently around 85 singing members. We hold voice training workshops to improve the quality of our singing, and are exploring new ways to extend the range of our membership and reach new audiences.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

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 but has stabilised more recently
