The Gower Chorale

The Gower Chorale is a mixed voice choir that rehearses and performs classical choral music in Swansea about 3 times per year in concerts held in local churches. The choir members are amateurs but the conductor is a professional musician. The Chorale also sometimes raises money for other charities.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

3 trustees run the charity.
