WORTHING CHORAL SOCIETY

Worthing Choral Society aims to provide at least three public Choral concerts a year,. It also undertakes charity concerts for both local and national organistions each year. It supports local luncheon clubs for the elderly. Occasional choral trips abroad are also a feature of the choir. On request we provide small choirs for weddings and other more personal occasions.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
