DANESBOROUGH CHORUS

We are a community choral society. We rehearse choral works composed between 1600 and the present day, mainly of classical repertoire, and perform them to the general public in high quality concerts with professional soloists, instrumentalists and orchestras. We also undertake training sessions and fund-raising activities such as singing at weddings and carol singing.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
