THE BAR CHORAL SOCIETY

The Bar Choral Society offers the opportunity to barristers, judges, family members and friends and those who work within or with the legal profession to come together to sing choral music to a high standard. Rehearsing and performing largely in Temple Church and around the Inns of Court, the Society presents approximately two concerts per year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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