ORMSKIRK MUSIC SOCIETY

Ormskirk Music Society comprises a choir and orchestra which perform a number of concerts a year in and around Ormskirk, Lancashire. Our repertoire is varied, from established classics of the symphonic & choral-orchestral canon, to musical byways, light music and works by living composers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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