THE CHARLES HALLE FOUNDATION

The Charles Halle Foundation raises funds to assist the Halle Concerts Society in its non-core activities and in particular to finance foreign tours by the Halle Orchestra, to create opportunities to encourage young British astists and composers, to provide special concerts for young people and to support the Halle's education and outreach programme.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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