PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION

The Foundation provides music tuition and performance opportunities to children and young people living in Pimlico. The Foundation benefits the wider community by organising high quality choral performances in local venues, thus improving access to culture in the area. It promotes social cohesion by encouraging contact between people of different ages, faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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