STEVENAGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 

To educate the public in the arts and science of music through performance of public concerts, and to encourage local amateur musicians through playing and performing classical music.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
