DACORUM COMMUNITY CHOIR

We give members the opportunity to sing together in a community choir, perhaps for the first time, as well as explore repertoire (from classical, world and folk to gospel and pop) that maintains the interest of the more experienced singers. Healthy use of the voice is encouraged, and the basics of reading music is taught. Performances are given in a variety of venues across the local area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
