CHURCHILL MUSIC

Churchill Music! promotes five concerts a year given by world class musicians to local people at affordable prices. The Concert Series runs in conjunction with our Youth Project. Visiting musicians work in local primary and secondary schools and community groups. Churchill Music holds an annual Young Musician of the Year Competition. Our weekly 'Sing For Fun' group promotes health and wellbeing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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:

  • 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
