SANSARA CHOIR

SANSARA is a vocal collective making choral music that matters. Drawing on the expressive potential of the human voice, we connect new audiences with timeless music, offering unique opportunities for reflection and renewal. Our work is rooted in artistic excellence and social engagement, and we believe in the transformative power of choral music to make meaningful connections in people's lives.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
