ALNWICK AND DISTRICT CHORAL SOCIETY

An amateur choir performing four concerts annually - sacred and secular works. Some concerts engage professional musicians contributing to high standards. Social events take place throughout the year as do fundraising activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
