LONDON BACH SOCIETY

The promotion of the music of J S Bach, his family - antecedants and descendants - his contemporaries and other relevant composers in public activities that include an annual Bachfest.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
