VALE OF GLAMORGAN FESTIVAL LIMITED 

The Festival comprises an annual series of public concerts of the music of living composers, together with associated public talks and community outreach projects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • 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
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
  • Income has been volatile recently
