BATTLE CHORAL SOCIETY

Choral concerts in the Rother and Hastings areas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
