LINCOLN INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

LICMF exists to deliver chamber music at an annual festival around Lincolnshire and a monthly concert series in Lincoln, performed by high calibre musicians to educate/introduce and increase appreciation of chamber music.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
