THE SUTTON COLDFIELD CHORAL SOCIETY

Promotion of choral music in the Sutton Coldfield area by organising and training a choir which performs at least two public concerts each year.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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