ABBOTS LANGLEY GILBERT & SULLIVAN SOCIETY 

The objects of the charity are to educate the public of Abbots Langley and surrounding areas in, and increase their appreciation of, the operatic and dramatic arts.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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