To further the religious work of Leeds Minster by supporting and upholding its choral tradition and maintaining its organ; and to promote the musical education of the general public by the performance of church music and the presentation of choral and instrumental concerts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
Established: 28 years
