BROMLEY OECUMENICAL SINGERS 

Bromley Oecumenical Singers has three concerts each year, two with the objective of donating money to other charities both local and national and the third to raise funds for the continuation of our fund raising activities. We also have two bursary funds for assisting young musicians, generally from a church background, to further their musical studies.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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
