THE SIR GEORGE DYSON TRUST

To provide financial support to enable amateur and professional musical performances (largely but not exclusively choral) to take place with specific reference to the music of Sir George Dyson. Also to support, research, education and the publication of music, books and articles.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
