    KENDAL SOUTH CHOIR

    Choral/orchestral concerts 2/3 times per year
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
    • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

    Financial issues to consider:

    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
