NATIONAL YOUTH CHOIRS OF GREAT BRITAIN

To give the opportunity to groups of young people to perform together in choirs by running residential through the year culminating in the performance of major concerts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end

Established: 40 years
