ESSEX SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Weekly orchestral rehearsals leading to 4 annual public concerts.Outreach activities with local schools and other organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
