HARMONY VARIETY CLUBS LIMITED

Harmony is a voluntary based fully integrated performing arts group, specialising in activities including singing and dancing to technical and prop making for the disadvantaged and all others that can care and share in the community. Through Harmony we offer the young and the not so young, opportunities to discover talents and develop skills which in turn will enable them to grow in confidence.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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