THE ABBEY SINGERS

The aims of the organisation are:i. to promote and develop public education in, and the appreciation of, the art and science of musicii. to provide opportunities for people in the area of Cumbria and South West Scotland to participate in music making.iii. To put on public concerts of musiciv. To raise money for local charities through our musical activities

Analysis by Giving is Great

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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
