THE SHEFFIELD MUSIC SCHOOL

Sheffield Music school, which is held every Saturday morning, aims to offer quality music making in a fun, friendly and nurturing environment. We support pupils from Grade 1 to post Grade 8 through their individual musical journeys and pride ourselves in offering a bespoke programme of musical experiences. A number of bursaries are available.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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