FRIENDS OF OPERA NORTH 

Financial assistance towards the running costs of Opera North, by organising opera talks, concerts and recitals and by publicising opera events in the region.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
