MINEHEAD AND EXMOOR MUSIC FESTIVAL SOCIETY 

The Society organises a series of concerts in the last week of July in each year and sometimes in the winter to raise funds for the July week. We have our own visiting orchestra and chamber group and also arrange a recital given by a talented local young performer.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants

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 2 trustees
  • The Board is 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
