THE PHOENIX CHOIR OF CRAWLEY

Phoenix Choir of Crawley is a mixed voice adult choir based in Crawley. We rehearse on Thursday evenings and put on three or four concerts each year, with professional instrumentalists and soloists. We sing a range of music, including choral classics, traditional songs and contemporary works. We like to support our local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
