WEST GREEN HOUSE OPERA LIMITED

The charity's main objective is to advance the education of the public by encouraging the understanding and appreciation of music and opera, in particular but not exclusively through the presentation of public performances of opera.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

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
There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
