SOLIHULL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

We are an amateur orchestra with around 40 members. We perform around 4 concerts per year in the Solihull area, including outreach projects and an annual concert where talented young performers get a chance to perform a concerto with an orchestra.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
