WORCESTER FESTIVAL CHORAL SOCIETY

The Worcester Festival Choral Society is one of the leading promoters of major concerts in Worcester. As well as being one of the oldest, it is one of the most highly regarded choirs in the country, with a singing membership of about 150. It gives three major concerts each year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
