LONDON YOUTH OPERA

For 51 years, London Youth Opera (operating under our previous name, W11 Opera) has introduced young people from all backgrounds and abilities to the transformative power of opera. We are the only opera company staging original commissions written exclusively for and performed exclusively by children in highly acclaimed professional productions.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
