JESSIE'S FUND

Jessie's Fund helps seriously ill children, and those with complex needs or special educational needs and disabilities, to communicate by using creative music-making and music therapy. Jessie's Fund works with children all over the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
